Intro:

DmDm G+G DmDm D MajorD x2


Verse 1:
DmDm               G+G
C'mon, kind sir, let's walk outside
              D MajorD
And breathe the autumn air
DmDm
See the many that have lived and died
G+G               E minorEm
 See the unending golden stair
            FF      E minorEm
See all of us that have come behind
         FF
Clutching at your hem
         G+G     FF
All the way from Arkansas
            G+G
To your sweet and last amen

Chorus:
    DmDm       G+G
Let the bells ring
            DmDm
He is the real thing
            G+G
Let the bells ring
              DmDm
He is the real, real thing

Instrumental:
DmDm G+G x2

Verse 2:
DmDm      D MajorD  DmDm         G+G
  Take this deafening thunder down
                   DmDm
Take this bread and take this wine
                   G+G
Your passing is not what we mourn
                E minorEm
But the world you left behind
       FF             E minorEm
Well, do not breathe, nor make a sound
            FF
And behold your mighty work
           G+G        FF
That towers over the uncaring ground
          G+G
Of a lesser, darker world

Chorus:
    DmDm       G+G
Let the bells ring
            DmDm
He is the real thing
            G+G
Let the bells ring
              DmDm
He is the real, real thing

Instrumental:
DmDm G+G x3

Verse 3:
DmDm                   G+G
 There are those of us not fit to tie
             DmDm
The laces of your shoes
                G+G
Must remain behind to testify
               E minorEm
Through an elementary blues
          FF           E minorEm
So, let's walk outside, the hour is late
              FF
Through your crumbs and scattered shells
              G+G     FF
Where the awed and the mediocre wait
            G+G
Barely fit to ring the bells

Chorus:
    DmDm       G+G
Let the bells ring
            DmDm
He is the real thing
            G+G
Let the bells ring
              DmDm
He is the real, real thing

Outro:
DmDm G+G x2
DmDm
