Chimes Of Freedom

Written by Bob Dylan. This is legend, 'Boss' Bruce Springsteen's version. G D G C Well, far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll G C D G We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashin' D G C As majestic bells of boats struck shadows in the sun; G D riff G Sayin', it may be the chimes of freedom flashin' D G Flashin' for the warriors whose strength is not to fight; C G Am D Flashin' for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight. G D G C And for each and every underdog soldier in the night G C D G G C D G We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin' D G C Well, in the city's melted furnace unexpectedly we watched G D riff G D With faces hidden here while the walls were tightenin' G D G C As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain; G D riff G Dissolved into the wild bales of lightnin' D G Yeah, tollin' for the rebel, yeah, tollin' for the raked C G Am D Tollin' for the luckless, the abandoned and forsaked. G D G C Yeah, tollin' for the outcasts burnin' constantly at stakes G C D G And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin' G Oh yeah! (instrumental solo) D G C And then through a cloud-like curtain in a far off corner flashed G D riff G D There's a hypnotic, splattered mist was slowly liftin' G D G C Well, electric light still struck like arrows G D riff G Fired but for the ones condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin' D G Well, tollin' for the searching ones on this speechless, secret trail C G Am D For the lonesome haunted lovers with too personal a tale. G D G C And for each young heart for each channeled soul misplaced inside a jail G C D G riff G Yeah, we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin' D G C Well, starry eyed and laughin' I recall when we were caught, G D riff G D Trapped by an old track of vows for the hands suspended C G Am D As we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look G D G C Spellbound and swallowed "Has the tollin' ended?" D G Yeah, tollin' for the achin' ones whose wounds cannot be nursed G D G C For the countless, confused, accused, misused strung out ones at worst. G C D G riff G And for every hung out person in the whole wide universe We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin' Uh uh uh... (to end) Enjoy!
