Intro: GCGDCGDGCGGCGC
Far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
GCDGCG
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
GCGC
As majestic bells of bolts, struck shadows in the sounds
GCDGCG
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
DD7GC
Flashing for the warriors, whose strength is not to fight
GCAmD
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
GCGC
For each and every underdog, soldier in the night
GCDGCG
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
GCGC
Even though a cloud's white curtain in a far off corner flashed
GCDGCG
The hypnotic, splattered mist was slowly lifting
GCGC
Electric bolts still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
GCDGCG
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
DD7GC
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless seeking trail
GCAmD
The lonesome hearted lovers, with too personal a tale
GCGC
And for each unharmful gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
GCDGCG
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Interlude: CGD
Ohh ohh ohh
CGDGCG
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
GCGC
Starry eyed and laughing, as I recall when we were caught
GCDGCG
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
GCGC
As we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look
GCDGCG
Spellbound and swallowed 'til the tolling ended
DD7GC
Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
GCAmD
The countless confused, misused, accused, strung-out ones and worse
GCGC
For every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
GCDGCG
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Outro: CGD
Ohh ohh ohh
CGDGCG
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
