Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Ring  them bells, ye heathen
 From the city that dreams,
Ring  them bells from the sanctuaries
 Cross the valleys and streams,
For  they're deep and they're wide
 And the world's on its side
And  time is running backwards
 And so is the bride.
Ring  them bells St. Peter
 Where the four winds blow,
Ring  them bells with an iron hand
 So the people will know.
Oh  it's rush hour now
 On the wheel and the plow
And  the sun is going down
 Upon the sacred cow.
Ring  them bells Sweet Martha,
 For the poor man's son,
Ring  them bells so the world will know
 That God is one.
Oh  the shepherd is asleep
 Where the willows weep
And  the mountains are filled
 With lost sheep.
Ring  them bells for the blind and the deaf,
Ring  them bells for all of us who are left,
Ring  them bells for the chosen few
 Who will judge the many when the game is through.
Ring  them bells, for the time that flies,
For  the child that cries
 When innocence dies.
Ring  them bells St. Catherine
 From the top of the room,
Ring  them from the fortress
 For the lilies that bloom.
Oh  the lines are long
 And the fighting is strong
And  they're breaking down the distance
 Between right  and  wrong.
 Play intro solo then song is finished. Sorry If I'm wrong.
 Enjoy, Anyway!
