Intro: Am    Dm  C  G  F  G  Am  (2x) 

verse 1 

The countryside was out of sight 
    F            Am 
The sky was acid blue 
    G        Em     F 
The saplings were beside themselves 
    Dm                  G 
The storm had passed on through 
    Am 
The trees were dressed in racing silk 
  F                   Am 
A vibrant grass-snake green 
     G       Em        F 
With maidens clutching violets 
   G             Am 
In many shades between 


E7 Am But somewhere in the distance Dm Am I could hear the tolling bell E7 Am I saw myself reflecting back E7 Am Face down in the well
Instrumental: Am Dm C G F G Am verse 2 The tolling bell reminded me F Am Of someone I had lost G Em F I could not quite remember who Dm G Or what had been the cost Am Naked from the waist up F Am Naked upside down G Em F No matter how you break your fall G Am You sure as hell will drown verse 3 The hounds from hell were howling F Am For the many wasted years G Em F While every sin was washed away Dm G With semi-precious tears Am Some said it was suicide F Am Others first degree G Em F No matter what the paradox G Am Was somehow lost on me
E7 Am But somewhere in the distance Dm Am I could hear the tolling bell E7 Am I saw myself reflecting back E7 Am Face down in the well
Instrumental: Am Dm C G F G Am (2x) verse 4 Am The courage of a patient man F Am Is measured in his pace G Em F Some may take the higher ground Dm G Others run the race Am Some folks do the dandy strut F Am And trade as ne'er do well G Em F But I have always pleased myself G Am That is why I fell
E7 Am Somewhere in the distance Dm Am I could hear the tolling bell E7 Am I saw myself reflecting back E7 Am Face down in the well E7 Am Somewhere in the distance Dm Am I could hear the rebel yell E7 Am I saw myself reflecting back E7 Am Face down in the well
