Capo at 2nd fret (all chords relative to capo)
[Intro]
  Am    Cm    Am    Amx2
[Verse 1]
Who Amled you to this hiding Cplace
Whose Clightning thread-spun silver Amtongue
The Amred bells beckon you to Cride
A haCndprint on the driver's Amside
It Amlooks a lot like engine oil
and Ctastes like being poor and small
and Ampopsicles in Csummer
[Chorus]
AmDeep red Cbells
AmDeep as I have been Amdone
Fmaj7Deep red Cbells
AmDeep as I have been Amdone
[Verse 2]
It Amalways has to come to Cthis
The Cred bells ring this tragic Amhour
We've Amlost sight of the overCpass
But Cdaylight won't remember Amthat
No Amspeckled fawns graze 'round your bones
Who Ctook the time to fold your clothes
And Amshook the valley of the sChadow
[Chorus]
AmDeep red Cbells
AmDeep as I have been Amdone
Fmaj7Deep red Cbells
AmDeep as I have been Amdone
[Interlude]
   F     Am     F     Am     F   Am7(hold)
[Bridge]
Where does this mean world cast its Am7cold eye?
Who's left to suffer long about you?
Does your Csoul cast about like an old paper bag
Past empty lots and early graves
Of Cthose like you who lost their way
AmMurdered on the interstate
While the Fred bells rang like Cthunder
[Chorus]
Oh, Amdeep red Cbells
AmDeep as I have been Amdone
Fmaj7Deep red Cbells
AmDeep as I have been Amdone
[Outro]
   Fmaj7     Amx4
