capo 5
[C]Look at the [C/B]world, [Am]it's walking[C/B] up
[C]I couldn't [C/B]sleep for [F]drea[G]ming
[C]My weary [C/B]soul i[Am]s finally [C/B]home
[C]I had the [C/B]strangest [F]feel[G]ing
[Am]This is the dawn, [G]the break of day
[Am]After the midnight[G] parted
[C]These ringing [C/B]ears [Am]have waited [C/B]years
[F]To hear the bells of [G]Har[C]lem
Far down the streets, I see the signs
The crowd is breathing faster
Some must have walked a hundred blocks
I see the flocks and pastors
Oh what a time, to be alive
Tears of the past forgotten
It's been a long, and lonely night
I hear the bells of Harlem
[Am]They ring, they ring, they [Em]sing, they sing
[Am]The darkest [F]hour has [G]passed
[Am]They ring, they ring, they [Em]sing, they [G]sing
[D]A little joy at [G]long last
[Am]The brightest rose, [G]ain't no more cane
[Am]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]Har[C]lem
The lyrics might not be exactly right, that
last verse is particularly hard to make out,
but this song is just gorgeous I think.
