Well, far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll

G/B C D G

We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashin'

G/B C G/B C

As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sound

G/B C D G

Seemin' to be the chimes of freedom crashin'

D G/B C G/B

Yeah, flashin' for the warriors whose strength is not to fight;

C G D

Flashin' for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight.

G/B C G/B C

And for each and every underdog soldier in the night

G/B C D G

We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

G/B C G/B C

Well, in the city's melted furnace unexpectedly we watched

G/B C D G

With faces hidden here while the walls were tightenin'

G/B C G/B C

As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain;

G/B C D G

Dissolved into the wild bells of lightnin'

D G/B C G/B

Yeah, tollin' for the rebel, yeah, tollin' for the rake

C G D

Tollin' for the luckless, the abandoned, and forsaked.

And then through a cloud-like curtain in a far off corner flashed

G/B C D G

There a hypnotic, splattered mist was slowly liftin'

G/B C

Well, electric light still struck like arrows

G/B C G/B C D G

Fired but for the ones condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin'

D G/B C G/B

Well, tollin' for the searching ones on this speechless, secret trail

C G D

For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale.

And for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail

Yeah, we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

G/B C G/B C

Well, starry eyed and laughin' I recall when we were caught,

G/B C D G

Trapped by no track of hours for they hang suspended

G/B C G/B C

As we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look

G/B C D G

Spellbound and swallowed as the tollin' ended

D G/B C G/B

Yeah, tollin' for the achin' ones whose wounds cannot be nursed

C G D

For the countless, confused, accused, misused strung-out ones and worse

G/B C G/B C

And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe

G/B C D G

Yeah, we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

C G/B D C G/B D G
