Anthem

Am C G


[Verse 1]
               C           F*     
The birds they sang, at the break 
   C
of day
      C        F*          C
Start again, I heard them say
      E7                 Am
Don't dwell, on what has passed away
           G         G* G
or what is yet to be


[Verse 2]
       C          F*      C
Oh the wars, they will be fought 
again
         C         F*      C
The holy dove, she will be caught 
again
          E7         Am
Bought and sold, and bought again
            G          G* G
The dove is never free


[Chorus]
         F          Bb        F
Ring the bells that still can ring
    F       Bb           F
Forget your perfect offering
           C        Bb      
There is a crack, a crack, in 
  F
everything
Continues after the ad
                       Dm     G
That's how the light gets in


[Verse 3]
             C          F*         
We asked for signs, the signs were 
C
sent:
             C          F*       
The birth betrayed, the marriage 
C
spent
          E7                 
Yeah, the widowhood, of every 
 Am
government -
          G           G* G
Signs for all to see


[Verse 4]
            C            F*       
And I can't run no more, with the 
C
lawless crowd
          C                      
While the killers in high places 
F*        C
say their prayers out loud
            E7               
But they've summoned, they've 
               Am
summoned up a thundercloud
             G             G* G
They're gonna hear from me


[Chorus]
         F          Bb        F
Ring the bells that still can ring
    F       Bb           F
Forget your perfect offering
           C        Bb      
There is a crack, a crack, in 
  F
everything
                       Dm     G
That's how the light gets in
               G             G* G
That's how the light gets in


[Verse 5]
                   C              
You can add up the parts, but you 
F*             C
won't have the sum
                      C            
You can strike up the march, there 
F*    C
is no drum
      E7                    Am
Every heart, every heart to love 
will come,
           G       G* G
But like a refugee


[Chorus]
         F          Bb        F
Ring the bells that still can ring
    F       Bb           F
Forget your perfect offering
           C        Bb      
There is a crack, a crack, in 
  F
everything
                       Dm     G
That's how the light gets in
               G             G* G
That's how the light gets in
               G             G* G
That's how the light gets in
