capo at 2nd fret ( all chords relative to capo )

intro : Am Cm Am Am x2

verse 1

Am C
who you led you to this hiding place
Am
this lightning thread – spun silver tunnels
C
red bells beckon you to ride
Am
hand print on the driver’s side
Am
it looks a lot like engine oil
C
and tastes like being poor and small
Am C
and popsicles in summer

chorus :

Am C
deep red bells
Am Am
deep as i’ve been done
Am C
deep red bells
Am Am
deep as i’ve been done

verse 2
Am C
it always has to come to this
Am
the red bells ring this tragic hour
C
we’ve lost sight of the overpass
Am
the daylight won’t remember that
Am
the speckled fawns grazed ’round your bones
C
who took the time to fold you clothes
Am C
and shook the valley of the shadow

chorus :

Am C
deep red bells
Am Am
deep as i’ve been done
Am C
deep red bells
Am Am
deep as i’ve been done

bridge :
F Am F Am F Am7 ( hold )

Am7 ( single strum )
where does this mean world cast its cold eye?
who’s left to suffer long about you
C
does your soul cast about like an old paper bag
past empty lots life and early graves
C
but those like you who lost there way
Am
murdered on the interstate
F C
while the red bells rang like thunder

chorus :

Am C
oh , deep red bells
Am Am
oh , deep as i’ve been done
Am C
deep red bells
Am Am
deep as i’ve been done
