Verse 1
[A]Ring them bells ye heathen from the [D]city that [A]dreams
[A]Ring them bells from the sanctuaries cross the [E]valleys and streams
For they're [D]deep and they're [A]wide
And the world on its [G]side
And [A]time is running backwards
And [E]so is the [A]bride.
Verse 2
[A]Ring them bells Saint Peter where the [D]four winds [A]blow
[A]Ring them bells with an ironhand
So the [E]people will know
For it's [D]rush hour [A]now
On the [F#m]wheel and the [G]plow
And the [A]sun is going [D]down upon the [E]sacred [A]cow.

Verse 3
[A]Ring them bells Sweet Martha for the [D]poor man's [A]son
[A]Ring them bells so the world will know that [E]God is one
Oh the [F#m]shepherd is [G]asleep
Where the [A]willows [D]weep
And the [A]mountains are [D]filled with [E]lost [A]sheep
Chorus
[A]Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
[A]Ring them bells for all of us who are left
[A]Ring them [F#m]bells for the chosen [A]few
Who will judge the [F#m]many when the game is [B7]through
Ring them [D]bells for the time that [A]flies
For the child that cries
When the innocence [E]dies
Verse 4
[A]Ring them bells Saint Catherine from the [D]top of the [A]room
Ring them from the fortress for the [E]lilies that bloom
Oh the [D]lines are [A]long and the [F#m]fighting is [D]strong
And they're [A]breaking down the [D]distance between [E]right and [A]wrong.
