[Verse]
                   Em             C       D   D(strike twice)
All the lilies were laid on the marble
                      Em          C       D   D(strike twice)
in the field where the ancestors lay, 
                   Em             C       D   D(strike twice)
And the forest was dark and primeval
                        Am               G         D   D(strike twice)
but the boughs seemed to cradle as they swayed,
                   Am            G       D   D(strike twice)
And the church choir sang hallelujah, 
                     Am             G      D   D(strike twice)
and the vernal breeze whispered a sigh, 
Watch the bCrethren all stGand, 
praise their CGod, raise your Ghand, 
                   Am          D         Em   Em(strike twice)
Tow the bell for the Rebel's goodbye x2
[Instrumental]
Em D Em G Am G D
[Chorus]
                  Am              G         D   D(strike twice)
In the dark heathen barracks of failure 
                    Am              G       D   D(strike twice)
where the tormenters wait for the night, 
And the sCheltering skGy 
hears their Clost, tattered Gcries, 
                   Am            D        Em   Em(strike twice)
Tow the bell for the Rebel's goodbye x2
