Far between sundown’s finish
G/D
C/D

an’ midnight’s broken toll
G/D
C/D
G/D
We ducked inside the doorway,
D/F#
G
C/G
G
as thunder went crashing
G/D
C/D
As majestic bells of bolts
G/D
C/D
G/D
C/D
struck shadows in the sounds

Seeming to be the chimes

of freedom flashing
Chorus 1

Flashing for the warriors
G
C/G

whose strength is not to fight
C/G

Flashing for the refugees
Am

on the unarmed road of flight
D7
G

and every underdog soldier in the night
G
D7
And we gazed upon the chimes
G
C/G
G
of freedom flashing

Through the city’s melted furnace,
G/D
C/D
G/D
C/D
unexpectedly we watched
G/D
C/D
With faces hidden
D7
G
C/G
G
while the walls were tightening
G/D
C/D
As the echo of the wedding bells
G/D
C/D
G/D
C/D
before the blowin’ rain
G/D
C/D
D7
Dissolved into the bells
G
C/G
G
of the lightning

Tolling for the luckless,

the abandoned and forsaken

burning constantly at stake

And we gazed upon the chimes

Verse 3
G/D
C/D
Through the mad mystic hammering
G/D
C/D
G/D
C/D
of the wild ripping hail
G/D
C/D
D7
The sky cracked its poems
G
C/G
G
in naked wonder
G/D
C/D
That the clinging of the church bells
G/D
C/D
G/D
C/D
blew far into the breeze
G/D
C/D
D7
Leaving only bells of lightning
G
C/G
G
and its thunder
Chorus 3
D
Striking for the the gentle,
C/G
G
Striking for the guardians
Am
D7
and protectors of the mind
G
D7
And the poet and the painter
G
C/G
far behind his rightful time
G
C
And we gazed upon the chimes
D7
G
C/G
G
of freedom flashing
G
G
In the
Verse 4
G/D
C/D
wild cathedral evening
G/D
C/D
G/D
C/D
the rain unraveled tales
G/D
C/D
For the disrobed faceless
D7
G
C/G
G
D7/A
forms of no position
G/D
C/D
Tolling for the tongues
G/D
C/D
G/D
C/D
with no place to bring their thoughts
G/D
C/D
D7/A
All down in taken-forgranted
G
C/G
G
situations
Chorus 4
D
Tolling for the deaf and blind,
C/G
G
For the mistreated, mateless mother,
Am
D7
the mistitled prostitute
G
D7
For the misdemeanor outlaw,
G
C/G
chained and cheated by pursuit
G
C
And we gazed upon the chimes
D7
G
C/G
of freedom flashing

Verse 5
G/D
C/D
Even though a cloud’s white curtain
G/D
C/D
G/D
C/D
in a far-off corner flared
G/D
C/D
D7
And the hypnotic splattered mist
G
C/G
G
was slowly lifting
G/D
C/D
Electric light still struck like arrows,
G/D
C/D
G/D
C/D
fired but for the ones
G/D
C/D
Condemned to drift
D7/A
G
C/G
G
or else be kept from drifting
Chorus 5
D
Tolling for the searching ones,
G
on their speechless, seeking trail
C/G
G
For the lonesome-hearted lovers
Am
D7
with too personal a tale
G
And for each unharmful,
D7
G
C/G
gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
G
C/G
And we gazed upon the chimes
D7
G
C/G
G

Verse 6
G/D
C/D
G/D
Starry-eyed and laughing as I recall
C/D
G/D
C/D
when we were caught
G/D
C/D
Trapped by no track
D7
G
C/G
G
of hours for they hanged suspended
G
G/D
C/D
G/D
As we listened one last time an’ we watched
C/D
G/D
C/D
with one last look
G/D
C/D
D7/A
Spellbound and swallowed
G
C/G
G
’til the tolling ended
Chorus 6
G
whose wounds cannot be nursed
C/G
For the countless confused,
Am
D7/A
strung-out ones and worse
G
D7/A
And for every hung-up person

in the whole wide universe

And we gazed upon the chimes
