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        G
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless seeking trail,
        C                G                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         G
Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
        C                     G               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

   C              Em             D
