  			intro: G   C   C/B   D   Dsus4   C   D   G 
 
 
G                  C9   
Far between sundowns finish 
        G             C9 
And midnights broken toll 
      G                          C9             D          C 
We ducked inside the doorway - thunder crashing 
 
G                C9   
As majestic bells of bolts 
           G           C9 
Struck shadows in the sounds 
G               C9       D            G 
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing  
 
D                                                 
Flashing for the warriors  
            G              C9      G 
Whose strength is not to fight 
D                      G 
Flashing for the refugees 
            Am                     D 
On the unarmed road of flight 
             G                      C9 
And for each and every underdog 
G                  C9 
Soldier in the night 
             G                       C9           D           G 
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing 
 
2nd verse: 
Even though the clouds white curtain, in the far off corner flashed 
And the hynotic splattered mist was slowly lifting 
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones 
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting 
 
Chorus: 
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless seeking trail 
For the lonesome hearted lovers with too personal a tale 
And for each unharmful gentle soul, misplaced inside a jail 
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing 
 
Dee  dee  dee dee dee  (ect) 
 
3rd verse: 
Starry eyed and laughing, as I recall when we were caught 
Can't find no track of ours for they hang suspended 
And we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look 
Spellbound and swallowed until the tolling ended 
 
Chorus: 
Tolling for the aching ones, whose wounds cannot be nursed 
For the countless confused accused misused strung out ones and worse 
And for each and every hung up person in the  whole wide universe 
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing 
 
Dee dee dee dee dee-da (ect) 
 
It sounds right to me but if you have any suggestions or insults, I  
await them all.
