VERSE 1::
             FF     C majorC   G+G
Bells of the evening, oh, sing to my love
            FF     C majorC
Tell her I miss her, my own turtledove
                FF      C majorC
The streets of the old town are covered with rain
 G+G            FF     C majorC
I think I might never know true love again

VERSE 2::
  FF       G+G      C majorC
I'm lost with no road signs to guide me
 FF      C majorC      G+G    DmDm
A augmentedA slave to my whiskey and dreams
C majorC             FF      C majorC   G+G
Bells of the evening, oh, bells that I love
             FF     C majorC
I've got some feelings I long to be rid of


INTERLUDE:: C majorC  FF G+G FF C majorC FF C majorC


VERSE 3::
N.C. C majorC           FF     C majorC
I'm not one to ramble, I'm not one to boast
    G+G          FF      C majorC
Though I had one lover more lovely than most
            FF     C majorC
She was a country girl, born to be free
  G+G          FF        C majorC
Who took to the city, by chance there to find me


VERSE 4::
FF      G+G     C majorC
Bells of the evening go pealing
FF       C majorC      G+G   DmDm
I'm down here listening to you
C majorC             FF      C majorC
Bells of the evening, oh, bells of the sea
G+G                 FF      C majorC
Tell her that I miss her, that I'm lost and so lonely

INTERLUDE:: C majorC  FF G+G FF C majorC FF C majorC


VERSE 5::
              FF      C majorC
Bells of the evening, your sweet Sunday sound
 G+G              FF      C majorC
Reminds me of the redwoods and moss covered ground
             FF      C majorC
So, if I should wander on back to the coast
G+G             FF       C majorC
Tell her to remember, it's her I need the most


VERSE 6::
  FF        G+G     C majorC
I'm caught by the minstrel's misfortune
  FF    C majorC    G+G    DmDm
Of being forever displaced
C majorC             FF      C majorC
Bells of the evening, oh, bells of the sea
G+G                 FF      C majorC
Tell her that I miss her, that I'm lost I'm so lonely
