CAPO: None
[Intro]
G C D G G
[Verse 1]
G D G C
Far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
G C D G
We ducked inside the doorway as thunder went crashing
G D G C
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
G D G
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
D G
Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
C G Am D
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
G D G C
And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
G C D G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
[Verse 2]
G D G C
Through the city's melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched
G D G D
With faces hidden as the walls were tightening
G D G C
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain
G D G
Dissolved into the bells of the lighting
D G
Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake
C G Am D
Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned and forsaked
G D G C
Tolling for the outcast burnin' constantly at stake
G C D G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
[Verse 3]
G D G C
Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
G D G D
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
G D G C
That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze
G D G
Leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder
D G
Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind
C G Am D
Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind
G D G C
And the poet and the painter far behind his rightful time
G C D G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
[Verse 4]
G D G C
In the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
G D G D
For the disrobed faceless forms of no position
G D G C
Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts
G D G
All down in taken-for-granted situations
D G
Tolling for the deaf and blind, tolling for the mute
C G Am D
For the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute
G D G C
For the misdemeanor outlaw, chained and cheated by pursuit
G C D G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
[Verse 5]
G D G C
Even though a cloud's white curtain in a far-off corner flared
G D G D
And the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
G D G C
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
G D G
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
D G
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
C G Am D
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
G D G C
And for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
G C D G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
[Verse 6]
G D G C
Starry-eyed and laughing, as I recall when we were caught
G D G D
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
G D G C
As we listened one last time and we watched with one last look
G D G
Spellbound and swallowed 'til the tolling ended
D G
Tolling for the aching, whose wounds cannot be nursed
C G Am D
For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones and worse
G D G C
And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
G C D G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
