Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Novice

Bruce Springsteen's version of Bob Dylan's classic.

G+G           D MajorD      G+G         C majorC

Well, far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
G+G         C majorC    D MajorD    G+G

We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashin'
D MajorD      G+G       C majorC

As majestic bells of boats struck shadows in the sun;
G+G       D MajorD     riff  G+G

Sayin', it may be the chimes of freedom flashin'

D MajorD                G+G
Flashin' for the warriors whose strength is not to fight;
C majorC  G+G        A minorAm       D MajorD
Flashin' for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight.
G+G       D MajorD    G+G       C majorC

And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
G+G       C majorC     D MajorD    G+G     GC D MajorD G+G

We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'


       D MajorD       G+G     C majorC
Well, in the city's melted furnace unexpectedly we watched
 G+G      D MajorD   riff    G+G      D MajorD

With faces hidden here while the walls were tightenin'
G+G      D MajorD       G+G         C majorC

As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain;
 G+G  D MajorD   riff  G+G

Dissolved into the wild bales of lightnin'



D MajorD           G+G

Yeah, tollin' for the rebel, yeah, tollin' for the raked
C majorC        G+G       A minorAm      D MajorD

Tollin' for the luckless, the abandoned and forsaked.
G+G   D MajorD    G+G           C majorC

Yeah, tollin' for the outcasts burnin' constantly at stakes
G+G       C majorC     D MajorD    G+G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

G+G

Oh yeah! (instrumental solo)


D MajorD       G+G     C majorC
And then through a cloud-like curtain in a far off corner flashed
G+G      D MajorD   riff    G+G      D MajorD

There's a hypnotic, splattered mist was slowly liftin'
 G+G      D MajorD       G+G         C majorC

Well, electric light still struck like arrows
G+G  D MajorD    riff   G+G
Fired but for the ones condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin'


D MajorD                            G+G
Well, tollin' for the searching ones on this speechless, secret trail

C majorC        G+G       A minorAm      D MajorD

For the lonesome haunted lovers with too personal a tale.
G+G    D MajorD    G+G           C majorC

And for each young heart for each channeled soul misplaced inside a jail
 G+G       C majorC     D MajorD    G+G
riff G+G

Yeah, we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'


D MajorD       G+G     C majorC

Well, starry eyed and laughin' I recall when we were caught,
G+G      D MajorD   riff    G+G      D MajorD

Trapped by an old track of vows for the hands suspended
C majorC  G+G        A minorAm       D MajorD

As we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look
G+G       D MajorD    G+G       C majorC

Spellbound and swallowed "Has the tollin' ended?"


D MajorD                            G+G

Yeah, tollin' for the achin' ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
G+G    D MajorD    G+G           C majorC

For the countless, confused, accused, misused strung out ones at worst.
G+G       C majorC     D MajorD    G+G
riff G+G

And for every hung out person in the whole wide universe

We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'



Uh uh uh... (to end)
