  Subject: Chords: Chimes of freedom - The Byrds

  

  I heard this version on this "The best of Tour of Duty" CD that I 

  found at my local library, fell in love it, work out the music and 

  lyrics (hope it's right), and decided to post it here. Great lyrics. 

  (what do expect anyway if it's written by Dylan!)

  

  Here comes:

  

  Chimes of Freedom - The Byrds  (B. Dylan)

   (Not sure of the exact album, but it 

  should be on their compilations like the box set ect).

  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 

  

  CHORUS:

  

  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.
