The Three Bells performed by Roy Orbison 1972 written by Bert Reinsford and Jean Villard [Verse]
C
There's a village hidden deep in the valley

F         C          F    C
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning
       F           G7  C
Little Jimmy Brown was born
[Chorus]
                                                        G7
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little village town

                                                        C
And the songs that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown

                             E7                       F
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above

                 C                                 G7
Lead us not into temptation bless this hour of meditation

                       C
Guide him with eternal love
[Verse]
C
There's a village hidden deep in the valley

F           C         F    C
Beneath the mountains high above
And there twenty years thereafter
      F      G7       C
Jimmy was to meet his love
[Chorus]
                                                          G7
All the chapel bells were ringing twas a great day in his life

                                                             C
Cause the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife

                             E7                       F
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above

                 C                                 G7
Lead us not into temptation bless oh Lord this celebration

                              C
May their life be filled with love
[Verse]
C
From the village hidden deep in the valley

F         C       F        C
One rainy morning dark and grey
A soul winged it's way to heaven
      F         G7     C
Jimmy Brown had passed away
[Chorus]
                                                    G7
Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town

                                                      C
Twas farewell that it was singing to our little Jimmy Brown

                            E7                       F
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above

                 C                                  G7
Lead us not into temptation may his soul find the salvation

       F      G7     C
Of Thy great eternal love
