Dm         C7/E       F     A#m/C#
Morning in Paris, the city awakes
       F/C      A7#5 A7  Dm
To the bells of Notre Dame
              C7/E        F        A#m/C#
The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes
       F/C      C7    F   F7
To the bells of Notre Dame

       Gm           Am          Dm     Dm
To the big bells as loud as the thunder
       Gm           C/E       Asus A
To the little bells soft as a psalm
    Dm           C7/E        F
And some say the soul of the city's
    A#m/C#      Dm   
The toll of the bells

Dm           C7/E           F          A#m/C#
Dark was the night when our tale was begun
       Dm         A7#5 A7   
On the docks near Notre 
Dm Dm
Dame

Dm Dm

Dm              C7/E         F        A#m/C#
Four frightened gypsies slid silently under
    F/C        C7    F(add2) F
The docks near Notre Dame

Fmaj7 F6

      Gm            Am           Dm     Dm
But a trap had been laid for the gypsies
         Gm          C7/E      Asus A
And they gazed up in fear and alarm
     Dm           C7/E
At a figure whose clutches
     F       A#m         Dm  Dm
Were iron as much as the bells

See there the innocent blood you have spilt
       Dm       A7#5 A7  
On the steps of Notre

Dame

Dm Dm

Dm            C7/E             F             A#m/C#
Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt
       F/C      C7    F(add2) F
On the steps of Notre Dame

        Gm         Am            Dm     Dm
You can lie to yourself and your minions

You can claim that you haven't a qualm
        Dm        C7/E
But you never can run from

Of power and control

Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
A#     Gm9    Am7       A#  
Frollo felt a twinge of fear

For his immortal soul

Just so he's kept locked away
                      D5 D5 D5 D5   A#  
Where no one else can see

Even this foul creature may

Yet prove one day to be

Of use to me
