The bridge is the trickiest part of the song. After the third "ring them bells" the bass
line goes down stepwise from G#   G   F#  F   E
[Verse 1]
BRing them bells ye heathen from the Ecity thaBt dreams
BRing them bells from the sanctuaries cross the F#valleys and streams
EFor they're deep and they're Bwide
G#m7And the world on its Eside
BAnd time is running Ebackwards
F#And so is the Bbride.
[Verse 2]
BRing them bells Saint Peter where the Efour windBs blow
BRing them bells with an iron hand so thF#e people will know
EFor it's rush hour Bnow
G#m7On the wheel and the Eplow
BAnd the sun is going Edown upon thF#e sacrBed cow.
[Instrumental Solo]
(Same progression as above)
B   E   B   B   F#   E   B
  G#m7   E   B   E   F#   B
[Verse 3]
BRing them bells Sweet martha for the Epoor manB's son
BRing them bells so the world will know that F#God is one
EOh the shepherd is aBsleep
G#m7Where the willows Eweep
And the Bmountains are Efilled witF#h losBt sheep
[Bridge]
Ring them belG#mls for the blind and the Bdeaf
Ring them belG#mls for all of us who are lBeft
Ring them belG#mls for the chosen GaugfewG  B  D#  
                                    B/F#  G#m7/F(nat)
Who will judge the many when the game is through
ERing them bells for the time that Bflies
For the child that Ecries
When the innocence F#dies.
[Verse 4]
BRing them bells Saint Catherine from the Etop of tBhe room
BRing them from the fortress for the F#lilies that bloom
EOh the lines are Blong and thG#m7e fighting iEs strong
And they're Bbreaking down the Edistance betweeF#n right aBnd wrong.
[Instrumental Solo]
