Chimes Of Freedom chords *
G C G D  C G D G C G
GFar between sundown's Cfinish and Gmidnight's broken Ctoll
We Gducked inside the Cdoorway, Dthunder GcrashingC  G  
GAs majestic bells of Cbolts, struck Gshadows in the Csounds
GSeeming to be the Cchimes of Dfreedom GflashingC  G  
DFlashing for the D7warriors, whose Gstrength is Cnot to Gfight
CFlashing for the refugees on the Amunarmed road of Dflight
And for Geach and every Cunderdog, Gsoldier in the Cnight
And we Ggazed upon the Cchimes of Dfreedom GflashingC  G  
GEven though a clouds white Ccurtain in a Gfar off corner Cflashed
And the Ghypnotic splattered Cmist was Dslowly GliftingC  G  
GElectric lights still Cstruck like arrows, Gfired but for the Cones
GCondemned to drift or Celse be Dkept from GdriftingC  G  
DTolling for the D7searching ones, on their Gspeechless Cseeking tGrail,
For the Clonesome hearted lovers, with too Ampersonal a Dtale
And for Geach unharmful Cgentle soul misGplaced inside a Cjail
And we Ggazed upon the Cchimes of Dfreedom GflashingC  G  
Di Cdi di di di di Emdi di di di di Ddi
Di Cdi di di di di Emdi di Ddi di di GdumC  G  
GStarry eyed and Claughing, as I reGcall when we were Ccaught
GTrapped by no track of Chours for they Dhanged susGpendedC  G  
GAnd we listened one last Ctime, and we Gwatched with one last Clook
GSpellbound and swallowed Ctill the Dtolling GendedC  G  
DTolling for the D7aching ones whose Gwounds Ccannot be Gnursed
For the Ccountless confused, accused, misused, Amstrung-out ones and Dworse
And for Gevery hung-up Cperson in the Gwhole wide uniCverse
And we Ggazed upon the Cchimes of Dfreedom GflashingC  G

G C G D C G D G C G

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

And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

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

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

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

And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
