C                                              Fmaj7
Remember when our songs were just like prayers

        C               Cadd2/B        Am     Fmaj7
Like gospel hymns that you called in the air

C                              Fmaj7
Come down, come down sweet reverence

    C       Cadd2/B          Am            Fmaj7
unto my simple house and ring... and ring

Fmaj7             C        Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold

         C               Cadd2/B     Am   Fmaj7
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio

Fmaj7                   C           Fmaj7
Ring like clear day wedding bells

              C         Cadd2/B        Am      Fmaj7            C
Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell... we'll never tell

Em                      Fmaj7          C      Fmaj7      C
Come to me clear and cold on some sea

Em                          Fmaj7          C      G
Watch the world spinning waves... like machines

C                                Fmaj7
Now I've been crazy, couldn't you tell?

        C            Cadd2/B      Am        Fmaj7
I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell

C                                           Fmaj7
Now I'm covered up in straw, belly up on the table

       C         Cadd2/B          Am                  Fmaj7
Well I drank and sang, and passed in the stable

C                                     Fmaj7
That tall grass grows high and brown

        C                  Cadd2/B               Am     Fmaj7
Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground

 C                                    Fmaj7
and you sent me back to where I roam

              C      Cadd2/B           Am       Fmaj7
Well I cursed and I cried, but now I know... now I know

C                                    Fmaj7
And I ran back to that hollow again

     C          Cadd2/B        Am     Fmaj7
the moon was just a sliver back then

C                                          Fmaj7
And I ached for my heart like some tin man

         C               Cadd2/B        Am      Fmaj7           C
When it came, oh it beat and it boiled and it rang... oh, it's ringing

Fmaj7             C        Fmaj7
Ring like crazy, ring like hell

         C               Cadd2/B        Am   Fmaj7
Turn me back into that wild haired gale

Fmaj7               C              Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold

              C         Cadd2/B    Am   Fmaj7    C
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal

              C         Cadd2/B    Am   Fmaj7    C
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal
