capo 5

C majorC      C/BC/B  A minorAm     C/BC/B
Look at the world, it's walking up
C majorC     C/BC/B    FF  G+G
I couldn't sleep for dreaming
C majorC    C/BC/B  A minorAm    C/BC/B
My weary soul is finally home
C majorC     C/BC/B    FF  G+G
I had the strangest feeling

A minorAm        G+G
This is the dawn, the break of day
A minorAm        G+G
After the midnight parted
C majorC       C/BC/B A minorAm     C/BC/B
These ringing ears have waited years
FF          G+G C majorC
To hear the bells of Harlem

Far down the streets, I see the signs
The crowd is breathing faster
Some must have walked a hundred blocks
I see the flocks and pastors

Oh what a time, to be alive
Tears of the past forgotten
It's been a long, and lonely night
I hear the bells of Harlem

A minorAm             E minorEm
They ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
A minorAm     FF    G+G
The darkest hour has passed
A minorAm             E minorEm     G+G
They ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
D MajorD        G+G
A augmentedA little joy at long last

A minorAm         G+G
The brightest rose, ain't no more cane
A minorAm          G+G
We ground it down to sorghum
C majorC      C/BC/B  A minorAm     C/BC/B
We couldn't stop, the freedom train
FF          G+G C majorC
I hear the bells of Harlem


The lyrics might not be exactly right, that
last verse is particularly hard to make out,
but this song is just gorgeous I think.
