[C] [G] [D]
[G] [C] [G]
Far between [C] sundown's village [G]
and midnight's broken [C] tunnel, [G]
we duck inside the [C] doorway,
[D] thunder [G]
crashing.
[C] [G] As majestic bells [C] of gold [G] struck shadows [C] in the sound, [G] screaming to be the [C] child [D] of [G] freedom [C] flashing.
[G] [Em] [D]
Flashing for the warriors, [G] brute [Am] strength is not [G] defined.
[C]
Flashing for the refugees, [Am] only on the road [D] of life.
[G] And for each and [C] every underdog, [G] soldier [D] in [C] the night.
[G] And we gazed upon [C] the chimes [D] of freedom [G] flashing.
[C] [G] Even though a cloud's [C] wide curtain [G] in a far off corner [C] flashed,
[G] and the hypnotic splattered [C] mist [D] was slowly [G] lifting.
[C] [G] Electric lights [C] still 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] Tolling for the searching ones [G] on their [C] speechless seeking [G] trail,
[C] or the lonesome hearted lovers with two person [Am] only [D] tail.
[G] And for each [C] unharmful gentle soul [G] misplaced inside a [C] jail.
And [G] we gazed upon the [C] chimes [D] of freedom [G] [C] flashing.
[G] [C]
[Em] [G] [D]
[C]
[Em] Freedom.
[D] Freedom.
[G]
[C] [G]
Starry eyed [C] and laughing, as [G] I recall when we were [C] caught.
[G] Can't find no track of [C] ours, for [D] they hang [G] suspended.
[C] [G] As we listened one [C] last time, [G] and we watched with one [C] last look.
[G] Spill down and [C] swallow till [D] this [G] tolling [C] ended.
[G] [D]
Tolling for the aching ones [G] whose wounds [Am] cannot [D] [G] be nursed.
[C] For the countless confused that give [Am] misuse, strung out ones [D] and worse.
[G] And for every hung up [C] person [G] in the whole wide [C] universe.
[G] And we gazed upon [C] the chimes [D] of freedom [G] flashing.
