G C G C Far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll G C D G C G We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing G C G C As majestic bells of bolts, struck shadows in the sounds G C D G C G Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing D D7 G C G Flashing for the warriors, whose strength is not to fight C Am D Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight G C G C And for each and every underdog, soldier in the night G C D G C G And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing G C G C Even though a clouds white curtain in a far off corner flashed G C D G C G And the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting G C G C Electric lights still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones G C D G C G Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting D D7 G C G Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless seeking trail, C Am D For the lonesome hearted lovers, with too personal a tale G C G C And for each unharmful gentle soul misplaced inside a jail G C D G C G And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing C Em D Di di di di di di di di di di di di C Em D G C G Di di di di di di di di di di di dum G C G C Starry eyed and laughing, as I recall when we were caught G C D G C G Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended G C G C And we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look G C D G C G Spellbound and swallowed till the tolling ended D D7 G C G Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed C Am D For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones and worse G C G C And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe G C D G C G And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing C Em D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Di di di di di di di di di di di di C Em D G C G Di di di di di di di di di di di dum
