The Bells Lyrics & Chords By The Men They Couldn't Hang

I was born to the sound of a ringing bell
A sound that had a tale to tell
A tale that told of the time to come
Time and the ringing bell
As I grew strong they built the land
Built with the labour of brain and hands
The brain to plan, the hand to take
The crystal from the sand
One winters morning I was wed
Became a man in a hotel bed
The bells were ringing as we left the church
Ringing in my head
So ring out the bells
So ring out the bells
The years went past, a boy was born
Champagne bubbled and suits were worn
The older I get, the deeper in debt
Dusk gets nearer than dawn
So ring out the bells
So ring out the bells
What you've never had you'll never miss
But what you've always had's like a deadly kiss
I had a wish, I had a time
Between the chimes of the bells
So ring out the bells
So ring out the bells
