Intro 1
(G major)
Verse 1
Far between (G major) sun (D major) down's finish
an' (G major) midnight's broken toll (C major)
We (G major) ducked inside the doorway, (C major)
thun (D major) der (G major) crashing (D major)
As majestic (G major) bells of (D major) bolts struck
(G major) shadows in the sounds (C major)
Seeming (G major) to be the chimes (C major)
of (D major) freedom flashing (G major)
(D major) Flashing for the warriors whose
(G major) strength is not to fight
(C major) Flashing for the (G major) refugees on (A minor) the
unarmed road of flight (D major)
An' for (G major) each an' ev'ry (D major) underdog
sol (G major) dier in (C major) the night
An' we gazed (G major) upon the chimes (C major) of (D major) freedom
flash (G major) ing

Interlude 1
(C major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 2
Through the city's (G major) melted fur (D major) nace,
unex (G major) pectedly we (C major) watched
With (G major) faces hidden (D major) as the walls
(G major) were tightening (D major)
As the (G major) echo of the wed (D major) ding bells
be (G major) fore the blowin' rain (C major)
Dis (G major) solved into the bells (C major)
of (D major) the light (G major) ning
(D major) Tolling for the rebel, (G major) tolling for the rake
(C major) Tolling for the (G major) luckless,
the aban (A minor) doned an' (D major) (G major) forsaked
Tolling for the (D major) outcast,
burnin' (G major) constantly at stake (C major)
An' we gazed (G major) upon the chimes (C major)
of freedom (D major) flashing
Interlude 2
(G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 3
Through the (G major) mad mystic (D major) hammering
of the wild (G major) ripping hail (C major)
The sky (G major) cracked its (C major) poems
in (D major) naked won (G major) der (D major)
That the (G major) clinging of the church (D major) bells
blew (G major) far into the breeze (C major)
Leaving only (G major) bells (C major) of lightning
(D major) and its (G major) thunder
Striking (D major) for the gentle,
(C major) striking (G major) for the kind
Striking (C major) for the guardians (G major) and
(A minor) protectors of the mind (D major)
An' the poet (G major) and the (D major) painter
far behind (G major) his rightful (C major) time
An' we gazed (G major) upon the (C major) chimes
of (D major) freedom flashing (G major)
Interlude 3
(G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 4
In (G major) the wild cathedral (D major) evening
the rain (G major) unraveled tales (C major)
For the (G major) disrobed faceless forms (C major)
of (D major) no posi (G major) tion (D major)
Tolling (G major) for the tongues (D major) with no
place (G major) to bring their thoughts (C major)
All (G major) down in taken- for- granted (C major)
situ (D major) ations (G major)
(D major) Tolling for the deaf an' blind,
(G major) tolling for the mute
For the mis (C major) treated, mateless mother, (G major)
the (A minor) mistitled pros (D major) titute
For (G major) the misdemeanor out (D major) law,
chaineded an (G major) ' cheated by (C major) pursuit
An' we gazed (G major) upon the chimes (C major)
of freedom (D major) flashing (G major)
Interlude 4
(G major) (D major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 5
Even (G major) though a cloud's white (D major) curtain
in a far- (G major) off corner flared (C major)
An' the (G major) hypnotic splattered (D major) mist
was slowly (C major) (D major) lift (G major) ing (D major)
Electric light (G major) still struck like (D major) arrows,
fired (G major) but for the ones (C major)
Condemned (G major) to drift or (C major) else
be (D major) kept from drift (G major) ing
(D major) Tolling for the searching ones,
on their (G major) speechless, seeking trail
For the (C major) lonesome- hearted lovers (G major)
with too (A minor) personal a tale (D major)
An' for (G major) each (D major) un harmful, gentle
soul mis (G major) placed inside (C major) a jail
An' we gazed (G major) upon the (C major) chimes of
(D major) freedom flashing
Interlude 5
(G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 6
Starry- (G major) eyed an' (D major) laughing as I (G major) recall
when we were caught (C major)
Trapped (G major) by no track of (C major) hours for
(D major) they hanged sus (G major) pended (D major)
As we (G major) listened one last (D major) time an'
we watched (G major) with one last (C major) look
Spell (G major) bound an' swal (C major) lowed
'til (D major) the tolling ended (G major)
(D major) Tolling for the aching whose
(G major) wounds cannot be nursed
For the countless (C major) confused, (G major) accused,
misused, strung- (A minor) out ones an' (D major) worse
An' for every (G major) hung- up (D major) person in
the whole (G major) wide universe (C major)
An' we (G major) gazed upon the chimes (C major)
of (D major) freedom flash (G major) ing
