Gordon Lightfoot - Bells Of The Evening


CAPO: 5th Fret




INTRO:: C  F G F C F C

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

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


INTERLUDE:: C  F G F C F C


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


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


INTERLUDE:: C  F G F C F C


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


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