                          F          C      G
Bells of the evening, oh, sing to my love

                        F         C
Tell her I miss her, my own turtledove

                                F            C
The streets of the old town are covered with rain

  G                        F          C
I think I might never know true love again
[VERSE 2:]
    F             G            C
I'm lost with no road signs to guide me

  F           C           G       Dm
A slave to my whiskey and dreams

C                         F            C      G
Bells of the evening, oh, bells that I love

                         F          C
I've got some feelings I long to be rid of
[INTERLUDE:] C F G F C F C [VERSE 3:]
N.C. C                      F          C
I'm  not one to ramble, I'm not one to boast

       G                    F           C
Though I had one lover more lovely than most

                        F          C
She was a country girl, born to be free

    G                    F               C
Who took to the city, by chance there to find me
[VERSE 4:]
F            G          C
Bells of the evening go pealing

F             C            G     Dm
I'm down here listening to you

C                         F            C
Bells of the evening, oh, bells of the sea

G                                  F           C
Tell her that I miss her, that I'm lost and so lonely
[INTERLUDE:] C F G F C F C [VERSE 5:]
                           F            C
Bells of the evening, your sweet Sunday sound

  G                            F            C
Reminds me of the redwoods and moss covered ground

                          F           C
So, if I should wander on back to the coast

G                          F              C
Tell her to remember, it's her I need the most
[VERSE 6:]
    F                G          C
I'm caught by the minstrel's misfortune

   F        C       G       Dm
Of being forever displaced

C                         F            C
Bells of the evening, oh, bells of the sea

G                                  F           C
Tell her that I miss her, that I'm lost I'm so lonely
