[Intro]
Fmaj7 C Cadd2/B
Fmaj7 C Cadd2/B
C Fmaj7 C
[Verse 1]
C Fmaj7
Remember when our songs were just like prayers
C Cadd2/B Am Fmaj7
Like gospel hymns that you called in the air
C Fmaj7
Come down, come down sweet reverence
C Cadd2/B Am Fmaj7
unto my simple house and ring... and ring
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold
C Cadd2/B Am Fmaj7
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Ring like clear day wedding bells
C Cadd2/B Am Fmaj7 C
Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell... we'll never tell
[Bridge]
Em Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
Come to me clear and cold on some sea
Em Fmaj7 C G
Watch the world spinning waves... like machines
[Verse 2]
C Fmaj7
Now I've been crazy, couldn't you tell?
C Cadd2/B Am Fmaj7
I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell
C Fmaj7
Now I'm covered up in straw, belly up on the table
C Cadd2/B Am Fmaj7
Well I drank and sang, and passed in the stable
[Bridge Instrumental]
Em Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
Em Fmaj7 C G
[Verse 3]
C Fmaj7
That tall grass grows high and brown
C Cadd2/B Am Fmaj7
Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground
C Fmaj7
and you sent me back to where I roam
C Cadd2/B Am Fmaj7
Well I cursed and I cried, but now I know... now I know
[Verse 4]
C Fmaj7
And I ran back to that hollow again
C Cadd2/B Am Fmaj7
the moon was just a sliver back then
C Fmaj7
And I ached for my heart like some tin man
C Cadd2/B Am Fmaj7 C
When it came, oh it beat and it boiled and it rang... oh, it's ringing
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Ring like crazy, ring like hell
C Cadd2/B Am Fmaj7
Turn me back into that wild haired gale
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold
C Cadd2/B Am Fmaj7 C
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal
C Cadd2/B Am Fmaj7 C
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal
