Artist: Ryan Adams
Album: Cold Roses
Intro
CFEmDm
    x2
Verse
Am
You plant a rose and if the rose comes up
C
You're thankful to God
            Dm
And when it doesn't you cuss him
Am
You raise a child and when the child grows up
           C
You got to learn to let go
       Dm
if you can't learn to love him
Chorus
Em              F                        C
But, oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing
              Em                       Am
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
                   G                     F
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
C                 Em                       Am
Oh, hear all them bells ringing out in the street
         G                        F
Blue sky cracking and it makes me believe
                  Am
'Cause if I don't believe in love
             C              F               Em             Dm
Then I don't believe in you           And I do
Am
Now I'm not saying only bad news comes
        C                  Dm
For the people who want it to
              Am
But you gotta play that music for who's listening
           C                      Dm
You got to have someone you wanna sing it to
Chorus
Em              F                        C
But, oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing
              Em                       Am
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
         G                        F
Blue sky cracking and it makes me believe
C                 Em                       Am
Oh, hear all them bells ringing out in the street
                   G                     F
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
                  Am
'Cause if I don't believe in love
             C             F                Em              Dm
Then I don't believe in you           And I do
Dm
Close my eyes, see the glorious sunset
Em
Through the windows of a store and I want it
F
Anyway, if I ever felt haunted
G        Dm        G
You were there for me
Dm
These angry people who are waiting to judge you
Em
Have their own judgment that they'll have live up to
F
Open your mouth and if nothing will come through
G                             Dm
Remember, You're the one that sings
           G
And it's a gift
                       Dm
And life's a beautiful thing
          G
Oh, don't waste it doll
Solo
Verse
Am
You build a house and if the house comes up
          C
You gotta work on that house
      Dm
wanna make it your home
Am
'Cause everything inside that's not something you own
               C
Is what you're taking with you
       Dm
On the day that you go
Chorus
Em             F                       C
And oh, what a beautiful world when we sing
              Em                       Am
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
                   G                     F
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
C                 Em                       Am
Oh, Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
                   G                     F
hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
                  Am
'Cause if I don't believe in love
