Once you get a feel for it, the flourish-walkup pattern should 'feel' obvious [Verse 1]

^CRemember when our songs were just like ^Fmaj7prayers. ^CLike gospel hymns that you ^Gcalled in the ^Amair. ^CCome down come down sweet reverenc^Fmaj7e, ^Cunto my simple ^Ghouse and ^Amring...and ^Fmaj7ring.

[Chorus]

^FRing like silver, r^Cing like ^Fmaj7gold ^CRing out those ghosts on the ^GOhi^Amo ^FRing like clear day ^Cwedding ^Fmaj7bells ^CWere we the belly of the beast or the ^Gsword that ^Amfell...we'll ^Fmaj7never ^Ctell. ^Fmaj7 ^C

[Bridge]

^EmCome to me clear and ^Fmaj7cold on some ^Csea ^Fmaj7 ^C ^EmWatch the world spinning ^Fmaj7waves...like ^Cmachines ^Fmaj7 ^C

[Verse 2]

^CNow I,ve been crazy couldn't you ^Fmaj7tell? ^CI threw stones at the stars, but the ^Gwhole sky f^Amell. ^CNow I'm covered up in straw, belly up on the ^Fmaj7table ^CWell and drank and sang, and ^Gpassed in the ^Amstable. ^Fmaj7 ^C

^CThat tall grass grows high and ^Fmaj7brown, ^CWell I dragged you straight in the ^Gmuddy ^Amground ^Fmaj7 ^Cand you sent me back to where I r^Fmaj7oam. ^CWell I cursed and I cried, but ^Gnow I ^Amknow...^Fmaj7now I ^Cknow ^Fmaj7 ^C

[Verse 4]

^AmAnd I ran back to that hollow a^Fmaj7gain ^Cthe moon was just a sliver ^Gback ^Amthen. ^AmAnd I ached for my heart like some tin m^Fmaj7an ^Cwhen it came oh it beat and it ^Gboiled and it ^Amrang... ^Fmaj7oh, it's ^Cringing

[Chorus]

^Fmaj7Ring like crazy, ^Cring like ^Fmaj7hell ^CTurn me back into that ^Gwild haired ^Amgale ^Fmaj7Ring like silver, r^Cing like ^Fmaj7gold Turn these ^Cdiamonds straight back ^Ginto ^Amcoal Turn these ^Cdiamonds straight back ^Ginto ^Amcoal
