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