I think this version is more accurate than the other on the net. Enjoy it!




INTRO : G/B C G/B C G/B C D G(C) G(C) x2

G/B C G/B C
Well, far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
G/B C D G
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashin'
G/B C G/B C
As majestic bells of boats struck shadows in the sun;
G/B C D G
Sayin', it may be the chimes of freedom flashin'



D G/B C G/B
Flashin' for the warriors whose strength is not to fight;
C G D
Flashin' for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight.
G/B C G/B C
And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
G/B C D G
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'



G/B C G/B C
Well, in the city's melted furnace unexpectedly we watched
G/B C D G
With faces hidden here while the walls were tightenin'
G/B C G/B C
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain;
G/B C D G
Dissolved into the wild bales of lightnin'




D G/B C G/B
Yeah, tollin' for the rebel, yeah, tollin' for the raked
C G D
Tollin' for the luckless, the abandoned and forsaked.
G/B C G/B C
Yeah, tollin' for the outcasts burnin' constantly at stakes
G/B C D G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'




Oh yeah!
C G/B D C G/B D G(C9)G(C9)



G/B C G/B C
And then through a cloud-like curtain in a far off corner flashed
G/B C D G
There's a hypnotic, splattered mist was slowly liftin'
G/B C
Well, electric light still struck like arrows
G/B C G/B C D G
Fired but for the ones condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin'



D G/B C G/B
Well, tollin' for the searching ones on this speechless, secret trail
C G D
For the lonesome haunted lovers with too personal a tale.
G/B C G/B C
And for each young heart for each channeled soul misplaced inside a jail
G/B C D G
Yeah, we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'



G/B C G/B C
Well, starry eyed and laughin' I recall when we were caught,
G/B C D G
Trapped by an old track of vows for the hands suspended
G/B C G/B C
As we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look
G/B C D G
Spellbound and swallowed "Has the tollin' ended?"



D G/B C G/B
Yeah, tollin' for the achin' ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
C G D
For the countless, confused, accused, misused strung out ones at worst.
G/B C G/B C
And for every hung out person in the whole wide universe
G/B C D G
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'




C G/B D C G/B D G 2x
Oh oh oh...
