Gordon Lightfoot - Ring Them Bells





CAPO: 4th Fret




INTRO:: C Am C

VERSE 1::

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

VERSE 2::

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


VERSE 3::

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


BRIDGE::
     Am              C
Ring them bells, for the blind and the deaf
   ~  Am            C
Ring them bells, for those who are left
   ~  Am          C/G
Ring them bells, for the chosen few
          F           D
Who will judge the many, when the game is through
     F            C
Ring them bells, for the time that flies
         Dm7          G
For the child who cries, when innocence dies


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