    Bells of Harlem - Dave Rawlings Machine

    Capo 5

    Intro C  C/B  Am  C/B  C (x2)

     

    C Look at the Em world,

    F It's walking C up

    C I couldn't Em sleep for F dreamGing

    C My weary Em soul F is finally C home

    C I had the Em strangest F feeGling

     

    Dm This is the dawn,

    G The break of day

    Dm After the midnight G pardon

    C These ringing C/B ears

    Am Have waited C/B years

    F To hear the bells of G HarClem

     

    Intro C  C/B  Am  C/B  C (x2)

     

    C Far down the Em streets,

    F I see the C signs

    C The crowd is Em breathing F fasGter

    C Some must have Em walked

    F A hundred C blocks

    C I see the Em flocks and F pastors G

     

    Dm Oh what a time, G to be alive

    Dm Tears of the past forGgotten

    C It's been a C/B long

    Am And lonely C/B night

    F I hear the bells of G HarClem

    C  (C/B)

    They Am ring, they ring,

    They Em sing, they sing

    The Am darkest Em hour has G passed

    They Am ring, they ring,

    They Em sing, they G sing

    D7 A little joy at G long G7 last

     

    Dm The bravos rose,

    G Ain't no more cane

    Dm We ground it down to G sorghum

    C We couldn't C/B stop,

    Am The freedom C/B train

    F I hear the bells of G HarClem

    C/B  Am  C/B  C (x6)
