intro : G/B C G/B C G/B C D G ( C ) G ( C ) x2

G/B C G/B C
well , far between sundown’s finish and midnight’s broken toll
G/B C D G
we ducked inside the doorway , thunder crashin’
G/B C G/B C
as majestic bells of boats struck shadows in the sun;
G/B C D G
sayin’ , it may be the chimes of freedom flashin’

D G/B C G/B
flashin’ for the warriors whose strength is not to fight;
C G D
flashin’ for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight .
G/B C G/B C
and for each and every underdog soldier in the night
G/B C D G
we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin’

G/B C G/B C
well , in the city’s melted furnace unexpectedly we watched
G/B C D G
with faces hidden here while the walls were tightenin’
G/B C G/B C
as the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain;
G/B C D G
dissolved into the wild bales of lightnin’

D G/B C G/B
yeah , tollin’ for the rebel , yeah , tollin’ for the raked
C G D
tollin’ for the luckless , the abandoned and forsaked .
G/B C G/B C
yeah , tollin’ for the outcasts burnin’ constantly at stakes
G/B C D G
and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin’

oh yeah!
C G/B D C G/B D G ( C9 ) G ( C9 )

G/B C G/B C
and then through a cloud – like curtain in a far off corner flashed
G/B C D G
there’s a hypnotic , splattered mist was slowly liftin’
G/B C
well , electric light still struck like arrows
G/B C G/B C D G
fired but for the ones condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin’

D G/B C G/B
well , tollin’ for the searching ones on this speechless , secret trail
C G D
for the lonesome haunted lovers with too personal a tale .
G/B C G/B C
and for each young heart for each channeled soul misplaced inside a jail
G/B C D G
yeah , we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin’

G/B C G/B C
well , starry eyed and laughin’ i recall when we were caught ,
G/B C D G
trapped by an old track of vows for the hands suspended
G/B C G/B C
as we listened one last time , and we watched with one last look
G/B C D G
spellbound and swallowed “has the tollin’ ended?”

D G/B C G/B
yeah , tollin’ for the achin’ ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
C G D
for the countless , confused , accused , misused strung out ones at worst .
G/B C G/B C
and for every hung out person in the whole wide universe
G/B C D G
we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin’

C G/B D C G/B D G 2
xoh oh oh . . .
