Chimes Of Freedom Chords by The Byrds

[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _
Far between [C] sundown's finish _ [G] and midnight's broken [C] toll, _
[G] We duck inside the [C] doorway, [D] thunder _
[G] [C] crashing.
_ [G] _ _ _ Those majestic [C] bells of gold _ [G] struck shadows in [C] the sound,
_ _ [G]
Screaming to be the [Gm] child of [D] [G] freedom, clashing.
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D]
Clashing for the warriors, [G] whose strength [Am] is not to [G] fight,
_ _ [C]
Clashing for the refugees, [Am] only on the road [D] of flight,
_ [G] And for each and every [C] _ underdog, _ [G]
soldier in the [C] night,
And [G] we gazed upon [C] the [Em] child [D] of freedom, [G]
clashing.
[C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ Even though a cloud [C]-like curtain _ [G] in a far-off corner [C] _ flashed,
And [G] the hypnotic splattered [C] mist [D] was slowly [G] lifting,
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Electric lights still [C] struck like arrows, [G]
fired but for the [C] ones
_ _ [G]
Condemned to drift, [Em] or else [D] be kept [G] from drifting.
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D]
Going for the searching ones, [G] on their [Am] speechless [G] seeking trail,
_ [C] For the lonesome [D] hearted [C] lovers, with [E] few [Am] person or [D] a tale,
_ [G] And for each unharmful, [C] gentle soul, _ [G]
misplaced inside a [C] jail,
And [G] we gazed upon the [C] [Em] child [D] of freedom, [G]
[C] clashing.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ Freedom, _ _ [C] _
freedom, _ [Em] _ _ [D] freedom, [G] freedom, _ [C] freedom.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
Starry-eyed [C] and laughing, as [G] I recall when we [C] were caught,
_ [G] Can't find no track of ours, [Em] for [D] they hang [G]
suspended.
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] [G] As we listened one [C] last time, _ [G] and we watched with one [C] last look,
_ _ [G]
We were bound and swallowed [Cm] till [D] the tolling [G] _
[C] ended.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D]
Going for the aching ones, [G] whose wounds [Am] cannot [G] be nursed,
[C] For the countless confused, vacuumed, [Am] misused, strung out ones [D] and worse,
_ [G] And for every hung up [C] person, [G] in the whole black _ [C] universe,
_ [G] And we gazed upon the [Am] child of [D] freedom, [G] [C] clashing.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ Freedom, [Em] _ _ freedom, [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[F] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] freedom, freedom, [G] freedom.
