[Verse 1]
C Fmaj7
Remember when our songs were just like prayers.
C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7
Like gospel hymns that you called in the air.
C Fmaj7
Come down come down sweet reverence,
C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7
Unto my simple house and ring...and ring.

Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold
C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Ring like clear day wedding bells
C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7
We’re we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell...we'll never tell.

[Bridge]
Em Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
Come to me clear and cold on some sea
Em Fmaj7 C G
Watch the world spinning waves...like machines
[Verse 2]
C Fmaj7
Now I've been crazy couldn't you tell
C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7
I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell.
C Fmaj7
Now I'm covered up in straw, belly up on the table
C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7
Well I drank and sang, and passed in the stable.

[Verse 3]
C Fmaj7
That tall grass grows high and brown,
C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7
Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground
C Fmaj7
And you sent me back to where I roam
C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7
Well I cursed and I cried, but now I know...oh, now I know
[Small Instrumental]
C Fmaj7 C
[Verse 4]
C Cmaj9 Fmaj7
And I ran back to that hollow again
C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7
The moon was just as sliver back then
C Cmaj9 Fmaj7
And I ached for my heart like some tin man
C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7
When it came oh it beat and it boiled and it rang...oh, it's ringing
[Small Instrumental]
C Fmaj7 C
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Ring like crazy, ring like hell
C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7
Turn me back into that wild haired gale
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold
C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal.
C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal.
