The bell tolls

E
The black plague has struck
Diseased eyes roll upwards
Em
E
As if knowing which direction
Em
E
their souls will travel
Em
E
(Bring out your dead)
A woman in black cries
Em
As the deathly pro cession passes by
E

And monks moan en masse
Verse 3

Ohohohohohoh

(Gregorian chants)
Em
The yet clean peasant pounds
E

upon the castle door
For it is safer inside the wall
E
Em
s
E
Their knocking pounds a dull tone across the quiet,
deserted courtyard
Em
E
The bodies of unfortuates bloat in the hot
sun outside the castle walls
Em
And ones ignorant of all facts plunder the diseased
E
Em
corpses for remaining riches.
E
(Bring out your dead)
Em
And the bell tolls on
E
Verse 4
Em
A man walks around the castle
walls on the outside
The light from his lamp dancing
E
Em
shadows as he moves
E
He tends the sick
Em
E
Em
Gives comfort to all he can for dying
E
Em
woman and crying man
E
But he feels it most for the children
Em

E
Tears glisten on his cheek
Em

Did man ever deserve this death?
Em
E
Em
And not all will die, just the poor
For the rich are inside

E
Em
the castle walls
D

And he knows he could be with them
And they laugh at this fool
of a man
Em
Through the stone fortress windows
E

And the bell tolls
Em
on

Verse 5
(Unclean)
And many deaths and many

days later
Many tears have been cry cried but in vain
Em
E
For tears can never erase
Em
the pain of death
E
Em
Only time has that talent
E
His hands are now blistered

but this man walks on

The only element of sanity that the people look
to him for answers and he answers all

E
Life for the people flowers again
Em
They breathe fresh air like they
E
Em
did once before
E
And there is not a sound from beyond
Em
the castle walls
E
The bell has stopped
And only silence is heard
G
And the peasants outside
wonder what happened within
In their bones they feel
something is wrong
The bell has been silent
E
much too long
F#
G
For many days not one soul has stirred from the stone
E
fortress where the rich people live
A
G
No one came and no one went
G
A
Fear can do many strange things
G
And even though water ran low
Their mouths burnt and bellys caked dry
Not one person put a foot outside
No one had that much courage
For they feared the peasants
F#
and their world outside
So they played it safe and
Em
didn't move
E
Em
But one by one they perished and died

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
