[F#] [B]
[F#] [C#]
[B] [F#] [C#]
[F#] [B] [F#]
Far between [B] sundown's finish [F#] and midnight's broken [B] tunnel,
[F#]
We ducked inside the [B] doorway, [C#] thunder
[F#] crashing.
[B] [F#] Those majestic bells [B] of gold [F#] struck shadows in the [B] sound,
[F#]
Seeming to be [B] the child [C#] of freedom [F#]
clashing.
[B] [D#m] [C#]
Clashing for the warriors, [F#] whose strength [G#m] is not [F#] defiant,
[B]
Clashing for the refugees, [G#m] on the unarmed road [C#] of flight,
[F#] And for each and every [B] underdog, [F#] and soldier [C#] in the [B] night,
[F#] And we gazed upon the [B] child [C#] of freedom [F#]
[B] clashing.
[F#] Even though a [B] cloud's wide curtain [F#] in a far off corner [B] flashed,
[F#] And the hypnotic splattered [B] mist was [C#] slowly [F#] lifting,
[B] [F#] The electric light still [B] struck like arrows, [F#]
fired but for the [B] ones
[F#]
Condemned to drip, [B] or else be [C#] kept [F#] from [B] dripping.
[D#m] [D] [C#]
Tolling for the searching ones, [F#] on their [G#m] speechless seeking [F#] trail,
[B] Tolling on some hearted lovers, with few person [G#m] or [C#] their tale,
And [F#] for each [B] unharmful gentle soul, [F#]
misplaced inside a [B] jail,
And [F#] we gazed upon the [B] child [C#] of freedom [B]
clashing.
[F#] [B]
[D#m] [C#]
[B]
[D#m] [C#] [F#]
[B] [F#] Stubby eyed [B] and laughing, as [F#] I recall when we [B] were caught,
[F#] Can't find no track of [B] ours, for [C#] they hang [F#]
suspended.
[B] [F#] [C#] [D#m] As we listened one [B] last time, [F#] and we watched with one [B] last look,
[F#]
They're found and swallowed, [Bm] till [C#] the tolling [F#]
[B] ended.
[F#] [C#]
Tolling for the aching ones, [F#] whose wounds [G#m] cannot [F#] be nursed,
[B] For the countless confused that give [D#m] misuse, strung out [C#] worms and words,
[F#] And for every hung [B] up person, [F#] in the whole wide [B] universe,
[F#] And we gazed upon the [B] child of [C#] freedom [B] clashing.
