[G]
Far between [D] sundown's finish [G] and midnight's broken toll
We ducked [C] inside the [G] doorway [D] as thunder went [G] crashing
[C] As [G] majestic bells [C] of bolts [G] struck [C] shadows in the [G] [C] sounds
[G] Seeming to be the times of freedom flashing
[C]
[G] [D] Flashing for the warriors [G] whose strength [C] is [G] not to fight
[C] Flashing for [G] the refugees on the [Am] unarmed [D] road of flight
[G] And for each and every [D] underdog soldier [G] in the [C] night
[G] And we gazed upon the [D] chimes of freedom [G] flashing
[C] Through [G]
the city's melted furnace
Unexpectedly we watched
With faces hidden [D] as the walls [G] were [C] tightening
[G] As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain
Dissolved into the [D]
bells of the [G] lightning
[D] Tolling for the rebel, [G] tolling for the rake
[C] Tolling for [G] the luckless, they are [Am] abandoned and [D]
forsake
[G] Tolling for [C] the outcast, [G] burning constantly at [C] stake
And [G] we gazed upon [C] the [Am] chimes of freedom [G] flashing
[C]
[G] Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
The sky cracked its [D] palms in naked [G] wonder
[C] As [G]
the clinging [C] of the church bells [G] blew far into the breeze
Leaving only [D] bells of lightning and its [G] thunder
[C] [G]
[D] Striking for the gentle, [G] striking for the kind
[C] Striking for the [G] guardians [Am] and protectors of the [D] mind
And [G] the poet and the [D] painter far [G] behind is rightful [C] time
And [G] we gazed upon [C] the chimes of [D] freedom [G] [C] flashing
[G] In the wild cathedral [C] evening, [G] the rain [C] [G] unraveled tails
For the disrobed [D] faceless forms of no [G] position
[C] [G] Tolling
[D] [G] [C] for the tongues [G] with no place [C] to bring [G] their thoughts
All down and taken [D] for granted [G] situations
[C] [G]
[D] Tolling for the deaf and blind, [G] tolling for the mute
[C] For the mistreated, maitless [G] mother, the [Am] mistitled [D] prostitute
[G] For the misdemeanor [D] outlaw, [G] chained and cheated by [C] pursuit
And [G] we gazed upon [Em] the chimes [D] of [G] freedom flashing
[C] Even [D] [G]
[Dm] though a [G]
[C] cloud's wide curtain [G] in a [C] far off corner [G] flared
And the hypnotic [D] splattered mist was slowly [G] lifting
[C]
[G] Electric light still [C] struck like [G] arrows fired but for the ones
Condemned to [C] drift [D] or else be kept [G] from [C] drifting
[G] [D] Tolling for the searching ones [G] on their speechless seeking trail
[C] For the lonesome, hearted [G] lovers with [Am] too personal a [D] tale
[G] And for each [D] unharmful, gentle soul [G] misplaced inside [C] a jail
[G] And we gazed upon [Em] the chimes [G] of freedom [C] flashing
[G]
[Am] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] [D] [G]
Starry-eyed [C] and laughing [G] as I recall [C] when we [G] were caught
Trapped by [C] no [D] track of ours for they [G] hang suspended
[C] [G] As we listened one last time and we watched with one last look
Spillbound [D] and swallowed till the [G] tolling ended
[C] [G]
[D] Tolling for the aching, [G] whose wounds cannot be nursed
For the [C] countless, [G] confused, accused, misused, [Am] strung out ones [D] and worse
[G] And for every hung up [D] person [G] in the whole wide [C] universe
And we [G] gazed upon [C] the [D] chimes of freedom [G] flashing
