Bells of the Evening Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 5th Fret
[INTRO:] C F G F C F C
[VERSE 1:]
Bells of the evening, oh, [F]sing to my [C]love[G]
Tell her I miss her, my [F]own turtle[C]dove
The streets of the old town are [F]covered with [C]rain
I [G]think I might never know [F]true love a[C]gain
[VERSE 2:]
I'm [F]lost with no r[G]oad signs to [C]guide me
A [F]slave to my [C]whiskey and [G]dreams[Dm]
[C]Bells of the evening, oh, [F]bells that I [C]love[G]
I've got some feelings I [F]long to be [C]rid of
[INTERLUDE:] C F G F C F C
[VERSE 3:]
N.C. C F C
I'm not one to ramble, I'm not one to boast
Though [G]I had one lover more [F]lovely than [C]most
She was a country girl, [F]born to be [C]free
Who [G]took to the city, by [F]chance there to [C]find me
[VERSE 4:]
[F]Bells of the [G]evening go [C]pealing
[F]I'm down here [C]listening to [G]you[Dm]
[C]Bells of the evening, oh, [F]bells of the [C]sea
[G]Tell her that I miss her, that I'm [F]lost and so [C]lonely
[INTERLUDE:] C F G F C F C
[VERSE 5:]
Bells of the evening, your [F]sweet Sunday [C]sound
Re[G]minds me of the redwoods and [F]moss covered [C]ground
So, if I should wander on [F]back to the [C]coast
[G]Tell her to remember, it's [F]her I need the [C]most
[VERSE 6:]
I'm [F]caught by the min[G]strel's mis[C]fortune
Of [F]being for[C]ever dis[G]placed[Dm]
[C]Bells of the evening, oh, [F]bells of the [C]sea
[G]Tell her that I miss her, that I'm [F]lost I'm so [C]lonely
[OUTRO:] C F G F C F C
