D A D G
Far between sundown’s finish an’ midnight’s broken toll
D G A D
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
D A D G
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
D G A D
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
A D
Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
G D Em A
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
D A D G
An’ for each an’ ev’ry underdog soldier in the night
D G A D
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
D A D G
In the city’s melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched
D G A D
With faces hidden while the walls were tightening
D A D G
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowin’ rain
D G A D
Dissolved into the bells of the lightning
A D
Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake
G D Em A
Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned an’ forsaked
D A D G
Tolling for the outcast, burnin’ constantly at stake
D G A D
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
D A D G
Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
D G A D
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
D A D G
That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze
D G A D
Leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder
A D
Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind
G D Em A
Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind
D A D G
An’ the unpawned painter behind beyond his rightful time
D G A D
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
D A D G
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
D G A D
For the disrobed faceless forms of no position
D A D G
Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts
D G A D
All down in taken-for-granted situations
A D
Tolling for the deaf an’ blind, tolling for the mute
G D Em A
Tolling for the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute
D A D G
For the misdemeanor outlaw, chased an’ cheated by pursuit
D G A D
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
D A D G
Even though a cloud’s white curtain in a far-off corner flashed
D G A D
An’ the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
D A D G
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
D G A D
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
A D
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
G D Em A
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
D A D G
An’ for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
D G A D
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
D A D G
Starry-eyed an’ laughing as I recall when we were caught
D G A D
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
D A D G
As we listened one last time an’ we watched with one last look
D G A D
Spellbound an’ swallowed ’til the tolling ended
A D
Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
G b D Em A
For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an’ worse
D A D G
An’ for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
D G A D
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
