Version 1
            [Intro]
Am    Am/G

[Verse 1]
               C
The birds they sang
at the break of day
      G
Start again
             C    C7
I heard them say
      E7
Don't dwell on what
    Am
has passed away
           G       Gsus4     G5  G7  G
or what is yet to be.

                        C
The wars they will
be fought again
               G
The holy dove
         C
be caught again
       E7
bought and sold
     Am
and bought again
G       Gsus4     G5  G7  G
the dove is never free.

[Chorus]
                 F          Bb        F
        Ring the bells that still can ring.
                    Bb           F
        Forget your perfect offering.
                   C        Bb        F
        There is a crack, a crack, in everything.
                       Dm                G    Gsus4   G
        That's how the light gets in.

[Verse 2]
       C
We asked for signs
the signs were sent:
        G
the birth betrayed
        C7
the marriage spent
      E7
the widowhood
     Am
of every government -
G       Gsus4     G5  G7  G
signs for all to see.

C
Can't run no more
C
with the lawless crowd
            G
while the killers in high places
           C
say their prayers out loud.
            E7
But they've summoned up
   Am
A thundercloud
G       Gsus4     G5  G7  G
and they're going to hear from me.

[Chorus]
                 F          Bb        F
        Ring the bells that still can ring.
                    Bb           F
        Forget your perfect offering.
                   C        Bb        F
        There is a crack, a crack, in everything.
                       Dm                G    Gsus4   G
        That's how the light gets in.

[Verse 3]
          C
You can add up the parts
C
but you won't have the sum
        G
You can strike up the march,
       C
there is no drum
E7
   Every heart
    Am
to love will come
G       Gsus4     G5  G7  G
but like a refugee.

[Chorus]
                 F          Bb        F
        Ring the bells that still can ring.
                    Bb           F
        Forget your perfect offering.
                   C        Bb        F
        There is a crack, a crack, in everything.
                       Dm                G    Gsus4   G
        That's how the light gets in.

                 F          Bb        F
        Ring the bells that still can ring.
                    Bb           F
        Forget your perfect offering.
                   C        Bb        F
        There is a crack, a crack, in everything.
                       Dm                G    Gsus4   G
        That's how the light gets in.
