guitar chords lyrics
Capo at 2nd fret (all chords relative to capo)
Intro: Am Cm Am Am x2
VERSE 1
Am C
Who you led you to this hiding place
Am
This lightning thread-spun silver tunnels
C
Red bells beckon you to ride
Am
hand print on the driver's side
Am
it looks a lot like engine oil
C
and tastes like being poor and small
Am C
and popsicles in summer
CHORUS:
Am C
Deep red bells
Am Am
Deep as I've been done
Am C
Deep red bells
Am Am
Deep as I've been done
VERSE 2
Am C
It always has to come to this
Am
The red bells ring this tragic hour
C
We've lost sight of the overpass
Am
The daylight won't remember that
Am
The speckled fawns grazed 'round your bones
C
Who took the time to fold you clothes
Am C
And shook the valley of the shadow
CHORUS:
Am C
Deep red bells
Am Am
Deep as I've been done
Am C
Deep red bells
Am Am
Deep as I've been done
BRIDGE:
F Am F Am F Am7 (hold)
Am7 (single strum)
Where does this mean world cast its cold eye?
Who's left to suffer long about you
C
Does your soul cast about like an old paper bag
Past empty lots life and early graves
C
But those like you who lost there way
Am
Murdered on the interstate
F C
While the red bells rang like thunder
CHORUS:
Am C
Oh, deep red bells
Am Am
Oh, deep as I've been done
Am C
Deep red bells
Am Am
Deep as I've been done
