[Intro] | Am| C | Am | C | [Verse 1]
C
Ring them bells, ye heathen

         F/A*             C
From the city that dreams

C
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries

           F/G*
’Cross the valleys and streams

            F                C
For they’re deep and they’re wide

        C                  F
And the world’s on its side

    C
And time is running backwards

    F/G       C
And so is the bride
[Interlude]
           Am               C
Ring them bells, Ring them bells

           Am               C
Ring them bells, Ring them bells
[Verse 2]
C
Ring them bells St. Peter

          F/A*             C
Where the four winds blow

C
You gotta ring them bells with an iron hand

       F/G 
So the people will know

        F         C
That the rush hour is now

       C                  F
On the wheel and the plow

        C
And the sun is going down

         F/G*        C
on the sacred cow
[Interlude]
           Am               C
Ring them bells, Ring them bells

           Am               C
Ring them bells, Ring them bells
[Verse 3]
C
Ring them bells Sweet Martha

        F/G*             C
For the poor man’s son

C
You gotta ring them bells so the world will know

     G
That God is one

       F            C
For the shepherd is asleep

          C       F
Where the willows weep

        C
And the mountains are filled

     F/G*               C
With little lost sheep
[Middle 8]
          Am                          C
Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf

          Am                          C
Ring them bells for all of us who are left

          Am                   Abaug*
Ring them bells for the chosen few

                   C/G                 D9/F#*
Who will judge the many when the game is through

          Fmaj7*                      C/E*
Ring them bells, for the time that flies

                   Dm7*
For the child that cries

               F/G*
When innocence dies
[Verse 4]
C
Ring them bells St. Catherine

         F/G*              C
From the top of the room

C
Now ring them from the fortress

        F/G*
From the lilies that bloom

       F         C
For the lines they are long

        C           F
And the fighting is strong

            C
And they’re breaking down the distance

        F/G*              C
Between right and wrong

           Am               C
Ring them bells, Ring them bells

           Am               C
Ring them bells, Ring them bells
