Eliza Gilkyson - Chimes Of Freedom
INTRO: G C G D C G D G C G
G C G C
Far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
G C D G C G
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
G C G C
As majestic bells of bolts, struck shadows in the sounds
G C D G C G
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
D D7 G C
Flashing for the warriors, whose strength is not to fight
G C Am D
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
G C G C
For each and every underdog, soldier in the night
G C D G C G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
G C G C
Even though a cloud's white curtain in a far off corner flashed
G C D G C G
The hypnotic, splattered mist was slowly lifting
G C G C
Electric bolts still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
G C D G C G
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
D D7 G C
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless seeking trail
G C Am D
The lonesome hearted lovers, with too personal a tale
G C G C
And for each unharmful gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
G C D G C G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
INTERLUDE: C G D
Ohh ohh ohh
C G D G C G
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
G C G C
Starry eyed and laughing, as I recall when we were caught
G C D G C G
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
G C G C
As we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look
G C D G C G
Spellbound and swallowed 'til the tolling ended
D D7 G C
Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
G C Am D
The countless confused, misused, accused, strung-out ones and worse
G C G C
For every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
G C D G C G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
OUTRO: C G D
Ohh ohh ohh
C G D G C G
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
