[Intro]
Am Dm C G F G Am (2x)
[Verse 1]
The countryside was out of sight
F Am The sky was acid blue G Em F The saplings were beside themselves Dm G The storm had passed on through Am The trees were dressed in racing silk F Am A vibrant grass-snake green G Em F With maidens clutching violets G Am In many shades between
[Chorus]
E7 Am But somewhere in the distance Dm Am I could hear the tolling bell E7 Am I saw myself reflecting back E7 Am Face down in the well
[Instrumental]
Am Dm C G F G Am
[Verse 2]
The tolling bell reminded me
F Am Of someone I had lost G Em F I could not quite remember who Dm G Or what had been the cost Am Naked from the waist up F Am Naked upside down G Em F No matter how you break your fall G Am You sure as hell will drown
[Verse 3]
The hounds from hell were howling
F Am For the many wasted years G Em F While every sin was washed away Dm G With semi-precious tears Am Some said it was suicide F Am Others first degree G Em F No matter what the paradox G Am Was somehow lost on me
[Chorus]
E7 Am But somewhere in the distance Dm Am I could hear the tolling bell E7 Am I saw myself reflecting back E7 Am Face down in the well
[Instrumental]
Am Dm C G F G Am (2x)
[Verse 4]
Am The courage of a patient man F Am Is measured in his pace G Em F Some may take the higher ground Dm G Others run the race Am Some folks do the dandy strut F Am And trade as ne'er do well G Em F But I have always pleased myself G Am That is why I fell
[Chorus]
E7 Am Somewhere in the distance Dm Am I could hear the tolling bell E7 Am I saw myself reflecting back E7 Am Face down in the well
[Chorus]
E7 Am Somewhere in the distance Dm Am I could hear the rebel yell E7 Am I saw myself reflecting back E7 Am Face down in the well
[Outro]
Am Dm C G F G Am
