                Ring them Bells - Bob Dylan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: Bob Dylan
From: "Oh Mercy" (1989)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

Following the main vocal line, Dylan plays a lot of changes on the piano on
his recording that are hard to do on a guitar. I skipped most of them for 
this tab and kept to the underlying chord (mostly C).

capo: 1st fret
play: C
key: C#/Db

[Verse 1]
C
Ring them bells, ye heathen
         F/A             C
From the city that dreams
C
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
           F/G
’Cross the valleys and streams
            F                C
For they’re deep and they’re wide
        C                  F
And the world’s on its side
    C
And time is running backwards
    F/G       C
And so is the bride

[Verse 2]
C
Ring them bells St. Peter
          F/A            C
Where the four winds blow
C
Ring them bells with an iron hand
       F/G
So the people will know
        F         C
Oh it’s rush hour now
       C                  F
On the wheel and the plow
        C
And the sun is going down
         F/G    C
Upon the sacred cow

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
C
Ring them bells Sweet Martha
        F/G        C
For the poor man’s son
C
Ring them bells so the world will know
     G
That God is one
       F            C
Oh the shepherd is asleep
          C       F
Where the willows weep
        C
And the mountains are filled
     F/G  C
With lost sheep

[Middle 8]
          Am                          C
Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
          Am                          C
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
          Am                   Abaug
Ring them bells for the chosen few
                   C/G                   D9/F#
Who will judge the many when the game is through
          Fmaj7                    C/E
Ring them bells, for the time that flies
                   Dm7
For the child that cries
               F/G
When innocence dies

[Verse 4]
C
Ring them bells St. Catherine
         F/G             C
From the top of the room
C
Ring them from the fortress
        F/G
For the lilies that bloom
       F         C
Oh the lines are long
        C           F
And the fighting is strong
            C
And they’re breaking down the distance
        F/G       C
Between right and wrong
