capo 5
C C/B Am C/B
Look at the world, it's walking up
C C/B F G
I couldn't sleep for dreaming
C C/B Am C/B
My weary soul is finally home
C C/B F G
I had the strangest feeling
Am G
This is the dawn, the break of day
Am G
After the midnight parted
C C/B Am C/B
These ringing ears have waited years
F G C
To hear the bells of Harlem
Far down the streets, I see the signs
The crowd is breathing faster
Some must have walked a hundred blocks
I see the flocks and pastors
Oh what a time, to be alive
Tears of the past forgotten
It's been a long, and lonely night
I hear the bells of Harlem
Am Em
They ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
Am F G
The darkest hour has passed
Am Em G
They ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
D G
A little joy at long last
Am G
The brightest rose, ain't no more cane
Am G
We ground it down to sorghum
C C/B Am C/B
We couldn't stop, the freedom train
F G C
I hear the bells of Harlem
The lyrics might not be exactly right, that
last verse is particularly hard to make out,
but this song is just gorgeous I think.
