Intro 1
(B flat minor) (A flat major)
Verse 1
The birds they (D flat major) sang, at the break of day
Start again, (A flat major) I heard them say (D flat major)
Don't (F major) dwell on what has passed (B flat minor) away
Or what is (A flat major) yet to be
Yeah, the wars (D flat major) they will be fought again
The holy (A flat major) dove, she will be (D flat major) caught again
(F major) Bought and sold and (B flat minor) bought again
The dove is (A flat major) never free

Chorus 1
Ring the bells (G flat major) that (B major) still can (G flat major) ring
Forget your (B major) perfect offer (G flat major) ing

Verse 2
We asked for signs, (D flat major) the signs were sent
The birth betrayed, (A flat major) the marriage spent (D flat major)
Yeah, the (F major) widowhood of every gover (B flat minor) ment
Signs for all (A flat major) to see
I can't run no (D flat major) more with that lawless crowd
While the kill (A flat major) ers in high places
say their prayers (D flat major) out loud
But they've (F major) summoned,
they've summoned up a (B flat minor) thundercloud
And they're going to hear from (A flat major) me
(...ring, ring, ring)

Ring the bells (G flat major) that still (B major) can ring (G flat major)

Verse 3
You can add up the (D flat major) parts
you won't have the sum
You can strike up the (A flat major) march,

Every heart, (F major) every heart to (B flat minor) love will come
But like a (A flat major) refugee (...ring, ring, ring)
Chorus 3
Ring the bells (G flat major) that (B major) still can ring (G flat major)
