C D G (notes: B C D G...)

	G	C9
	Far between the sundown's	finish

	G	C9
and	midnights broken	toll

	G
we	ducked inside

	C9	D	G
the	doorway	thunder	crashing (notes: B C D G...)

	G	C9
As	majestic bells of	bolts

	G	C9
struck	shadows in the	sounds

	G	C9	D	G
	seeming to be the	chimes of	freedom	flashing

(notes on low E string and open D: G F# E D...)

	D
	Flashing for the warriors

	G	C9	G
whose	strength is	not to	fight

	C9	C9/B
	flashing for the	refugees

	Am	D
of the	unarmed road of	flight

	G	C9

	G	C9
	soldier in the	night

	G	C9	D	G
and we	gazed upon the	chimes of	freedom	flashing (notes: B C D G...)

There are cities melted furnace

unexpectedly we watched

with faces hidden as the walls were tightening

As the echo of the wedding bells

before the blowing rain

dissolved into the bells of the lightning

Tolling for the rebel

tolling for the rake

tolling for the luckless

they are bound and damned forsaked

tolling for the outcasts

burning constantly at stake

and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Through the mad mystic hammering

and the wild ripping hail

the sky cracked its farms in naked wonder

As the clanging of the church bells

blew far into the breeze

leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder

Striking for the gentle

striking for the kind

striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind

and the poet and painter

far behind his rightful time

and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

In the wild cathedral evening

the rain unravelled tales

for a disrobed faceless farms of no position

Tolling for the tongues

with no place to bring their thoughts

all down and taken for granted situations

Tolling for the deaf and blind

tolling for the mute

for a mistreated maidless mother, a mistitled prostitute

for the misdemeanor outlaw

chained and cheated by pursuit

and we gaze upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Even though the cloud's white curtain

in a far off corner flashed

and the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting

Electric lights still struck like arrows

fired but for the ones

condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting

Tolling for the searching ones

on their speechless seeking trail

for the lonesome hearted lovers with too personal a tale

and for each unharmful gentle soul

misplaced inside a jail

and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Starry eyes and laughing

as I recall when we were caught

can't find no track of ours for they hang suspended

As we listened one last time

and we watched with one last look

spellbound and swallowed 'til the tolling ended

Tolling for the aching ones

whose wounds cannot be nursed

or the countless confused accused misused

strung out ones and worse

and for every hung up person

in the whole wide universe

and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
