Gordon Lightfoot - Ring Them Bells




CAPO: 4th Fret



INTRO:: C majorC A minorAm C majorC

VERSE 1::

Ring them bells ye heathen, from the city that dreams
                         G+G
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries, 'cross the valleys and streams
      FF          C majorC               FF
For they're deep and they're wide and the world's on it's side
  C majorC                G+G     C majorC    A minorAm  C majorC
And time is a-running backwards and so is the bride

VERSE 2::

Ring them bells, St. Peter, where the four winds blow
                           G+G
Ring them bells with an iron hand, so the people will know
     FF      C majorC              FF
Oh, it's rush hour now on the wheel of the plough
    C majorC             G+G    C majorC  A minorAm  C majorC
And the sun is going down upon the sacred cow


VERSE 3::

Ring them bells sweet Martha, for the poor man's son
                          G+G
Ring them bells so the world will know that god is none
    FF         C majorC            FF
For the shepherd is asleep where the willows weep
    C majorC             G+G     C majorC
And the mountains are filled with lost sheep


BRIDGE::
     A minorAm              C majorC
Ring them bells, for the blind and the deaf
   ~  A minorAm            C majorC
Ring them bells, for those who are left
   ~  A minorAm          C/GC/G
Ring them bells, for the chosen few
          FF           D MajorD
Who will judge the many, when the game is through
     FF            C majorC
Ring them bells, for the time that flies
         Dm7Dm7          G+G
For the child who cries, when innocence dies


VERSE 4::
C majorC
Ring them bells, St. Catherine, from the top of the roof
                        G+G
Ring them from the fortress for the lilies that bloom
    FF       C majorC            FF
For the lines that are long and the fighting is strong
      C majorC                 G+G     C majorC
And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong
