Verse:
FF
Gather around, I've got a story to tell
               C7C7
About a Manhattan lady that I know very well

She lives at five Riverside, her name is Shirley Devore
    Dm7Dm7         G7G7        C7C7
And she travelled 'round the world to meet the guy next door

FF
Well there was trouble inside apartment 29 E MajorE
                     C7C7
'Cause Shirley's mother and dad were as upset as can be

They said we hate to complain dear and we don't like to grouse
     Dm7Dm7  G7G7       C7C7
But your nearly 32, you should get out of the house

You gotta ring them bells, you gotta ring them bells

You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells

Verse:
       FF  Fmaj7Fmaj7      F6F6       FF
Well Shirley was 31, which she was loathe to admit
              Fmaj7Fmaj7      Gm7Gm7     C7C7
And she had never been loved, which didn't thrill her a bit

And so she sat and she thought, she thought for hours on end
       Dm7Dm7       G7G7       C7C7
And said I'll go to Chase, Manhattan, where I got me a friend

      FF
And so she borrowed a thou' and called TWA
FF             Fmaj7Fmaj7     Gm7Gm7    C7C7
And told her mother and dad that she was up and away

I'm gonna travel the continent, a month, maybe two
  Dm7Dm7      G7G7        C7C7
And haul me home a hus' if it's the last thing I do

Chorus:
     FF        Fmaj7Fmaj7   F6F6       FF
You gotta ring them bells, you gotta ring them bells
           Fmaj7Fmaj7     Gm7Gm7      C7C7
You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells

Verse:
     FF       Fmaj7Fmaj7     F6F6      FF
She met a Londoner first, but they did not hit it off
                Fmaj7Fmaj7   Gm7Gm7    C7C7
'Cause every time she approached he got a bronchial cough

And so she went to Madrid and met a handsome Señor
    Dm7Dm7        G7G7       C7C7
But he liked to throw the bull and he was no matador

     FF          Fmaj7Fmaj7  F6F6       FF
She also bombed out in Brussells, in Mallorca and Rome
              Fmaj7Fmaj7       Gm7Gm7    C7C7
Til' someone said: "Try Dubrovnik, dear before you go home

'Cause it's the kind of a town where you'll be likely to fall
      Dm7Dm7    G7G7       C7C7
And all the Toni Cognoscenti find the Balkans a ball"

Chorus:
     FF        Fmaj7Fmaj7   F6F6       FF
You gotta ring them bells, you gotta ring them bells

Verse:
      FF
And so she went to Dubruvnik and the very first day
                    C7C7
She met a guy on the beach who took her reason away

Yes, it was love at first sight and quite a beautiful scene
       DmDm      G7G7
She said, "My name is Shirl Devore\
