Capo at 2nd fret (all chords relative to capo) Intro: Am Cm Am Am x2 VERSE 1

Am                             C
Who you led you to this hiding place

                                  Am
This lightning thread-spun silver tunnels

                        C
Red bells beckon you to ride

                          Am
hand print 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've been done

Am       C
Deep red bells

Am                Am
Deep as I've been done

VERSE 2

   Am                    C
It always has to come to this

                               Am
The red bells ring this tragic hour

                            C
We've lost sight of the overpass

                            Am
The daylight won't remember that

Am
The speckled fawns grazed 'round your bones

    C
Who took the time to fold you clothes 

    Am                       C
And shook the valley of the shadow

CHORUS:

Am       C
Deep red bells

Am                Am
Deep as I've been done

Am       C
Deep red bells

Am                Am
Deep as I've been done

BRIDGE: F Am F Am F Am7 (hold) Am7 (single strum) 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 life and early graves

    C
But those like you who lost there way

Am
Murdered on the interstate 

F                             C
While the red bells rang like thunder

CHORUS:

Am       C
Oh, deep red bells

Am                Am
Oh, deep as I've been done

Am       C
Deep red bells

Am                Am
Deep as I've been done
