[Intro] Am Cm Am Am x2 [Verse 1]
    Am                     C
Who led you to this hiding place

      C                            Am
Whose lightning thread-spun silver tongue

    Am                      C
The red bells beckon you to ride

    C                       Am
A handprint on the driver's side

   Am
It looks a lot like engine oil

    C
and tastes like being poor and small

    Am           C
and popsicles in summer
[Chorus]
Am       C
Deep red bells

Am                  Am
Deep as I have been done

Fmaj7    C
Deep red bells

Am                  Am
Deep as I have been done
[Verse 2]
   Am                    C
It always has to come to this

    C                          Am
The red bells ring this tragic hour

      Am                    C
We've lost sight of the overpass

    C                       Am
But daylight won't remember that

   Am
No speckled fawns graze 'round your bones

    C
Who took the time to fold your clothes

    Am                       C
And shook the valley of the shadow
[Chorus]
Am       C
Deep red bells

Am                  Am
Deep as I have been done

Fmaj7    C
Deep red bells

Am                  Am
Deep as I have been done
[Interlude] F Am F Am F Am7 (hold) [Bridge]
                                    Am7
Where does this mean world cast its cold eye?
Who's left to suffer long about you?
          C
Does your soul cast about like an old paper bag
Past empty lots and early graves
   C
Of those like you who lost their way

Am
Murdered on the interstate

          F                   C
While the red bells rang like thunder
[Chorus]
    Am       C
Oh, deep red bells

Am                  Am
Deep as I have been done

Fmaj7    C
Deep red bells

Am                  Am
Deep as I have been done
[Outro] Fmaj7 Am x4
