Chimes Of Freedom

I heard this version on this "The best of Tour of Duty" CD that I

found at my local library, fell in love it, work out the music and

lyrics (hope it's right), and decided to post it here. Great lyrics.

(what do expect anyway if it's written by Dylan!)

Here comes:

Chimes of Freedom - The Byrds (B. Dylan)

(Not sure of the exact album, but it

should be on their compilations like the box set ect).

Far between sundowns finish

And midnights broken toll

We ducked inside the doorway - thunder crashing

As majestic bells of bolts

Struck shadows in the sounds

Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing

Flashing for the warriors

Whose strength is not to fight

Flashing for the refugees

On the unarmed road of flight

And for each and every underdog

Soldier in the night

And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

2nd verse:

Even though the clouds white curtain, in the far off corner flashed

And the hynotic splattered mist was slowly lifting

Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones

Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting

Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless seeking trail

For the lonesome hearted lovers with too personal a tale

And for each unharmful gentle soul, misplaced inside a jail

And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Dee dee dee dee dee (ect)

3rd verse:

Starry eyed and laughing, as I recall when we were caught

Can't find no track of ours for they hang suspended

And we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look

Spellbound and swallowed until the tolling ended

Tolling for the aching ones, whose wounds cannot be nursed

For the countless confused accused misused strung out ones and worse

And for each and every hung up person in the whole wide universe

And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Dee dee dee dee dee-da (ect)

It sounds right to me but if you have any suggestions or insults, I

await them all.
