Gordon Lightfoot – Ring Them Bells (Guitar)

C
Ring them bells ye heathen, from the city that dreams

                                                 G
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries, 'cross the valleys and streams

            F                    C                            F
For they're deep and they're wide and the world's on its side

    C                               G         C      Am   C
And time is a-running backwards and so is the bride

C
Ring them bells, St. Peter, where the four winds blow

                                          G
Ring them bells with an iron hand, so the people will know

         F            C                           F
Oh, it's rush hour now on the wheel of the plough

        C                          G       C    Am   C
And the sun is going down upon the sacred cow

C
Ring them bells sweet Martha, for the poor man's son

                                           G
Ring them bells so the world will know that God is one

        F                 C                       F
For the shepherd is asleep where the willows weep

        C                         G          C
And the mountains are filled with lost sheep

          Am                           C
Ring them bells, for the blind and the deaf

     ~    Am                       C
Ring them bells, for those who are left

     ~    Am                    C/G
Ring them bells, for the chosen few

                   F                      D
Who will judge the many, when the game is through

          F                        C/E
Ring them bells, for the time that flies

                  Dm7                   G
For the child who cries, when innocence dies

C
Ring them bells, St. Catherine, from the top of the roof

                                    G
Ring them from the fortress for the lilies that bloom

        F          C                       F
For the lines are long and the fighting is strong

            C                                  G              C
And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong
