Chord The Bells by Phil Ochs

the bells music by phil ochs lyrics by edgar allen poe D G D hear the sledges with the bells , silver bells , C D what a world of merriment their melody foretells ! C Em A C Em A how they tinkle , tinkle , tinkle in the icy air of night , C Em A C Em A all the heavens seem to twinkle with a crystalline delight . D Bm F#m A keeping time , time , time with a sort of runic rhyme , D C D from the tintinnabulation that so musically wells . D G D A D G D from the bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , G A D from the jingling and the tinkling of the bells . D G D hear the mellow wedding bells , golden bells , C D what a world of happiness their harmony foretells ! C Em A C Em A through the balmy air of night , how they ring out their delight , C Em A C Em A through the dances and the yells , and the rapture that impels . D Bm F#m A how it swells , how it dwells , on the future , how it tells , D C D from the swinging and the ringing of the molten golden bells . D G D A D G D of the bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , G A D of the rhyming and the chiming of the bells . D G D hear the loud alarum bells , brazen bells , C D what a tale of terror now their turbulency tells ! C Em A C Em A much too horrified to speak , oh , they can only shriek , C Em A C Em A for all the ears to know , how the danger ebbs and flows . D Bm F#m A leaping higher , higher , higher with a desperate desire , D C D in a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire . D G D A D G D with the bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , G A D with the clamor and the clanging of the bells . D G D hear the tolling of the bells , iron bells , C D what a world of solemn thought their monody compels ! C Em A C Em A for all the sound that floats , from the rust within our throats , C Em A C Em A and the people sit and groan in their muffled monotone . D Bm F#m A and the tolling , tolling , tolling feels a glory in the rolling , D C D from the throbbing and the sobbing of the melancholy bells . D G D A D G D oh , the bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , G A D oh , the moaning and the groaning of the bells . D G D hear the sledges with the bells , silver bells , C D what a world of merriment their melody foretells ! C Em A C Em A how they tinkle , tinkle , tinkle in the icy air of night , C Em A C Em A all the heavens seem to twinkle with a crystalline delight . D Bm F#m A keeping time , time , time with a sort of runic rhyme , D C D from the tintinnabulation that so musically wells . D G D A D G D from the bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , bells , G A D from the jingling and the tinkling of the bells .
