This flourish-then-walkup pattern repeats itself:
* in the chorus: Flourish on F, walkup with C
* a little differently in the Bridge: walkup on E maj "...(E) clear-and (Fmaj7) cold..."
Once you get a feel for it, the flourish-walkup pattern should 'feel' obvious
[Verse 1]
C C2 C C2 C Fmaj7 Remember when our songs were just like prayers. C G Am Fmaj7 Like gospel hymns that you called in the air. C C2 C C2 C Fmaj7 Come down come down sweet reverence, C G Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C unto my simple house and ring...and ring.
[Chorus]
F C Fmaj7 Ring like silver, ring like gold C G Am Fmaj7 Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio F C Fmaj7 Ring like clear day wedding bells C G Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell...we'll never tell.
[Bridge]
Em Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Come to me clear and cold on some sea Em Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Watch the world spinning waves...like machines
[Verse 2]
C C2 C C2 Fmaj7 Now I've been crazy couldn't you tell? C G Am Fmaj7 I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell. C C2 C C2 Fmaj7 Now I'm covered up in straw, belly up on the ta...ble C G Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Well and drank and sang, and passed in the sta......ble.
[Bridge Instrumental]
Em Fmaj7 C Fmaj7/C

[Verse 3]
C C2 C C2 Fmaj7 That tall grass grows high and brown, C G Am Fmaj7 Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground C C2 C C2 Fmaj7 and you sent me back to where I roam. C G Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Well I cursed and I cried, but now I know...now I know
[Verse 4]
C C2 C C2 Fmaj7 And I ran back to that hollow again C G Am Fmaj7 the moon was just a sliver back then. C C2 C C2 Fmaj7 And I ached for my heart like some tin man C G Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C when it came oh it beat and it boiled and it rang... oh, it's ringing
[Chorus]
F C Fmaj7 Ring like crazy, ring like hell C G Am Fmaj7 Turn me back into that wild haired gale F C Fmaj7 Ring like silver, ring like gold C G Am Fmaj7 Turn these diamonds straight back into coal C G Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C FMaj7 Turn these diamonds straight back into coal
