[Verse 1]
C Fmaj7
Remember when our songs were just like prayers.
C G Am
Like gospel hymns that you called in the air.
C Fmaj7
Come down come down sweet reverence,
C G Am Fmaj7
unto my simple house and ring...and ring.
[Chorus]
F C Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold
C G Am
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio
F C Fmaj7
Ring like clear day wedding bells
C G Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell...we'll never tell.
[Bridge]
Em Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
Come to me clear and cold on some sea
Em Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
Watch the world spinning waves...like machines
[Verse 2]
C Fmaj7
Now I,ve been crazy couldn't you tell?
C G Am
I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell.
C Fmaj7
Now I'm covered up in straw, belly up on the table
C G Am Fmaj7 C
Well and drank and sang, and passed in the stable.
Em Fmaj7 C Fmaj7/C
Em Fmaj7 C Fmaj7/C
[Verse 3]
C Fmaj7
That tall grass grows high and brown,
C G Am Fmaj7
Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground
C Fmaj7
and you sent me back to where I roam.
C G Am Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
Well I cursed and I cried, but now I know...now I know
[Verse 4]
C Fmaj7
And I ran back to that hollow again
C G Am
the moon was just a sliver back then.
C Fmaj7
And I ached for my heart like some tin man
C G Am Fmaj7 C
when it came oh it beat and it boiled and it rang... oh, it's ringing
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Ring like crazy, ring like hell
C G Am
Turn me back into that wild haired gale
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold
C G Am
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal
C G Am
