Ringing The Bells For Jim

A                              
The father heard church bells at 
    D
midnight
E                              
A wrong time for church bells to 
    A
chime
                               D
He went to the tower, found a little
 girl there
        A           E          
Said, Why ring the bells at this 
   A
time?

[Chorus]
                                D
I'm just ringing the bells for Jim
                 E                 
Please father, ringing the bells 
   A
for Jim
                               D
I'm sorry, I'm crying but my brother
 Jim is dying
     A               E         A
So, I'm ringing the bells for Jim

[Verse 2]
Continues after the ad
A                              
Please father, pray for him this 
    D
Christmas
E                              A
He's sick and he's in so much pain
                               D
The doctors all say, he'll be gone 
any day
    A                 E     A
So, I must ring the bells again

[Chorus]
                                D
I'm just ringing the bells for Jim
                 E                 
Please father, ringing the bells 
   A
for Jim
                               D
I'm sorry, I'm crying but my brother
 Jim is dying
     A               E         A
So, I'm ringing the bells for Jim

[Verse 3]
A
On the day after Christmas
             D         E          
She brought him said, Father, heed
        A
 little Jim
                               D
You see, he got well, when he heard 
the church bells
      A            E        A
I was ringing the bells for Jim

[Chorus]
                                D
I'm just ringing the bells for Jim
                 E                 
Please father, ringing the bells 
   A
for Jim
                               D
I'm sorry, I'm crying but my brother
 Jim is dying
     A               E         A
So, I'm ringing the bells for Jim
