capo 5
CLook at the C/Bworld, Amit's walkingC/B up
CI couldn't C/Bsleep for FdreaGming
CMy weary C/Bsoul iAms finally C/Bhome
CI had the C/Bstrangest FfeelGing
AmThis is the dawn, Gthe break of day
AmAfter the midnightG parted
CThese ringing C/Bears Amhave waited C/Byears
FTo hear the bells of GHarClem
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
AmThey ring, they ring, they Emsing, they sing
AmThe darkest Fhour has Gpassed
AmThey ring, they ring, they Emsing, they Gsing
DA little joy at Glong last
AmThe brightest rose, Gain't no more cane
AmWe ground it down to Gsorghum
CWe couldn't C/Bstop, Amthe freedom C/Btrain
FI hear the bells of GHarClem
The lyrics might not be exactly right, that
last verse is particularly hard to make out,
but this song is just gorgeous I think.
