Written by Bob Dylan. This is legend, 'Boss' Bruce Springsteen's version.
G D G C
Well, far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
G C D G
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashin'
D G C
As majestic bells of boats struck shadows in the sun;
G D G
riff
Sayin', it may be the chimes of freedom flashin'
D G
Flashin' for the warriors whose strength is not to fight;
C G Am D
Flashin' for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight.
G D G C
And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
G C D G DG
GC
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'
D G C
Well, in the city's melted furnace unexpectedly we watched
G D G D
riff
With faces hidden here while the walls were tightenin'
G D G C
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain;
G D G
riff
Dissolved into the wild bales of lightnin'
D G
Yeah, tollin' for the rebel, yeah, tollin' for the raked
C G Am D
Tollin' for the luckless, the abandoned and forsaked.
G D G C
Yeah, tollin' for the outcasts burnin' constantly at stakes
G C D G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'
G
Oh yeah! (instrumental solo)
D G C
And then through a cloud-like curtain in a far off corner flashed
G D G D
riff
There's a hypnotic, splattered mist was slowly liftin'
G D G C
Well, electric light still struck like arrows
G D G
riff
Fired but for the ones condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin'
D G
Well, tollin' for the searching ones on this speechless, secret trail
C G Am D
For the lonesome haunted lovers with too personal a tale.
G D G C
And for each young heart for each channeled soul misplaced inside a jail
G C D G
G
riff
Yeah, we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'
D G C
Well, starry eyed and laughin' I recall when we were caught,
G D G D
riff
Trapped by an old track of vows for the hands suspended
C G Am D
As we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look
G D G C
Spellbound and swallowed "Has the tollin' ended?"
D G
Yeah, tollin' for the achin' ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
G D G C
For the countless, confused, accused, misused strung out ones at worst.
G C D G
G
riff
And for every hung out person in the whole wide universe
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'
Uh uh uh... (to end)
Enjoy!
