~Intro: Bells ringing. You can do this with real bells; play harmonics on the 12th fret;
or just start at the verse.

~Verse 1: This song was originally played on a piano, and therefore has been tabbed like a piano.
The pointer, middle, and ring fingers are used to pluck the three high notes while the thumb
hits the bass note. (Similar to how a piano player uses their right hand to play the high (treble)
notes while the left hand plays the lower (bass) notes.

If you just want to strum chords with the song, the chords names that correspond to the finger
picking are above the tab!

I have tried to sync up the lyrics with what is going on, but it is not completely accurate!
It does give you a general sense of the placement of the words in relationship to the music though

[Verse 1]
        E MajorE       (EMaj7Emaj7)     E7E7
Bells will be ringing,         the glad…news       oh, what..
