_ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ [G] This is one of the greatest songs about human freedom _ ever written.

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ Well far between sundown's [C] finish _ and [G] _ midnight's broken [C] toad, _ [G] we ducked inside [C] the doorway, thunder [G] cracking. _ _ _ _ _
_ As majestic _ bells of [C] both struck [G] shadows in the [C] sound, _ _ [G] seeming to be the [C] chimes of [D] freedom [G] flashing. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] Flashing for the warrior _ [G] whose strength is not to fight, _ _ [C] flashing for the refugee on [G] his unarmed road of [D] flight.
_ And [G] for each and every [C] _
_ _ _ [G] soldier in [C] the night, _ [G] we gazed upon [C] the chimes [D] of freedom [G] flashing. _ _ _
_ _ Well in the city's melted [C] furnace, _ [G] _ unexpectedly we [C] watched, _ _ [G] with faces hidden [C] here while [D] the [G] walls were tight. _ _ _
_ [C] _ [G] And as the echo of [C] the wedding bells [G] before the [C] blowing rain, _ [G] dissolved into [C] the [D] wild bells [G] of lightning. _ _ _
_ _ [D] In tolling for the ever, _ [G] in tolling for the race, _ _ [C] tolling for the knackless, clear, [G] blind, undamned, [D]
forsaken.
_ [G] In tolling for [C] the outcast, [G] burning constantly [C] at stake, _ [G] we gazed [C] upon the [D] chimes of freedom [G] flashing. _ _ _
All right now!

[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ In the red cloud white [C] curtain, _ in [G] a far off corner [C]
flashed, [G] as the hypnotic [C] splattered mist [D] was [G] slowly lifting.
[C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ In electric light still [C]
struck like [G] arrows, fire had but foiled [C] the wands, _ [G] _ condemned the drift, [C] all else [D] they'd kept [G] on dripping. _ _ _
_ _ [D] We're tolling for the surgeon one, on [G] this speechless [C] seeking [G]
trail.
_ [Am] _ [C] Oh some hearted lovers with [G] due personal _ [D] affair, _ [G] and for each unharmful gentle [F#] soul [G] displaced _ inside a [C] jail.
_ [D] We [G] gazed upon [C] the chimes [D] of freedom [G] flashing. _ _ _
_ _ _ Well scurry out and [C] _ laughin', [G] yeah I recall as we were [C] caught, _ held [G] by no track of ours, pulled their hands [C] suspended.
Well [G] _ _ _ as we listened one [A] last time, _ and we [G] watched with one [C] last look, _ _ [G] _ spellbound and swallowed [C] as the [G] tolling ended.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Tolling for the [D] aching ones, [G] whose wounds cannot be reversed.
_ _ [C] For the countless confused accused, [G] misused, strung out, wands [D] and words.
_ [G] And for every hung up [C] person _ [G] in the whole wide _ [C] universe, _ [G]
we gazed upon the [C] [D] chimes of freedom [G] _
[C] flashing.

_ [N] So we'll see you in a little while, okay?
