[G]Far between sundown's [C]finish and [G]midnight's broken [C]toll We [G]ducked inside the [C]doorway, [D]thunder [G]crashin[C]g[G] [G]As majestic bells of [C]bolts, struck [G]shadows in the [C]sounds [G]Seeming to be the [C]chimes of [D]freedom [G]flashing[C][G]
[D]Flashing for the [D7]warriors, whose [G]strength is not [C] to [G]fight [C]Flashing for the [G]refugees on the [Am]unarmed road of [D]flight And for [G]each and every [C]underdog, [G]soldier in the [C]night And we [G]gazed upon the [C]chimes of [D]freedom [G]flashin[C]g[G]
[G]Even though a cloud s white [C]curtain in a [G]far off corner [C]flashed And the [G]hypnotic splattered [C]mist was [D]slowly [G]lifting[C][G] [G]Electric lights still [C]struck like arrows, [G]fired but for the [C]ones [G]Condemned to drift or [C]else be [D]kept from [G]drifting[C][G]
[D]Tolling for the [D7]searching ones, on their [G]speechless [C]seeking t[G]rail, For the [C]lonesome hearted [G]lovers, with too [Am]personal a [D]tale And for [G]each unharmful [C]gentle soul mis[G]placed inside a [C]jail And we [G]gazed upon the [C]chimes of [D]freedom [G]flashing[C][G]
[G]Starry eyed and [C]laughing, as I re[G]call when we were [C]caught [G]Trapped by no track of [C]hours for they [D]hanged sus[G]pended[C][G] [G]And we listened one last [C]time, and we [G]watched with one last [C]look [G]Spellbound and swallowed [C]till the [D]tolling [G]ended[C][G]
[D]Tolling for the [D7]aching ones whose [G]wounds c[C]annot be n[G]ursed For the [C]countless confused, ac[G]cused, misused, [Am]srung-out ones and [D]worse And for [G]every hung-up [C]person in the [G]whole wide uni[C]verse And we [G]gazed upon the [C]chimes of [D]freedom [G]flashing[C][G]
