chimes of freedom chords
the byrds ( bob dylan )

G C G D C G D G C G

G C G C
far between sundown s finish and midnight s broken toll
G C D G C G
we ducked inside the doorway , thunder crashing
G C G C
as majestic bells of bolts , struck shadows in the sounds
G C D G C G
seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing

D D7 G C
flashing for the warriors , whose strength is not to fight
G C Am D
flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
G C G C
and for each and every underdog , soldier in the night
G C D G C G
and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

G C G C
even though a cloud s white curtain in a far off corner flashed
G C D G C G
and the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
G C G C
electric lights still struck like arrows , fired but for the ones
G C D G C G
condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting

D D7 G C
tolling for the searching ones , on their speechless seeking trail ,
G C Am D
for the lonesome hearted lovers , with too personal a tale
G C G C
and for each unharmful gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
G C D G C G
and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

G C G C
starry eyed and laughing , as i recall when we were caught
G C D G C G
trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
G C G C
and we listened one last time , and we watched with one last look
G C D G C G
spellbound and swallowed till the tolling ended

D D7 G C
tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
G C Am D
for the countless confused , accused , misused , srung – out ones and worse
G C G C
and for every hung – up person in the whole wide universe
G C D G C G
and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
