[Verse 1]

C                                              Fmaj7
Remember when our songs were just like prayers
        C               Cadd2          Am          Fmaj7
Like gospel hymns that you called in the air
C                              Fmaj7
Come down, come down sweet reverence
    C       Cadd2            Am                    Fmaj7
unto my simple house and ring... and ring


[Chorus]

Fmaj7             C        Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold
         C               Cadd2          Am   Fmaj7
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio
Fmaj7                   C              Fmaj7
Ring like clear day wedding bells
              C         Cadd2          Am      Fmaj7            C
Were 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            Cadd2        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         Cadd2            Am                  Fmaj7
Well I drank and sang, and passed in the stable


[Bridge Instrumental]

Em    Fmaj7    C   Fmaj7 C
Em    Fmaj7    C    G


[Verse 3]

C                                              Fmaj7
That tall grass grows high and brown
        C                  Cadd2                   Am      Fmaj7
Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground
 C                                     Fmaj7
and you sent me back to where I roam
              C      Cadd2             Am       Fmaj7
Well I cursed and I cried, but now I know... now I know


[Verse 4]

C                                             Fmaj7
And I ran back to that hollow again
     C          Cadd2          Am          Fmaj7
the moon was just a sliver back then
C                                          Fmaj7
And I ached for my heart like some tin man
         C               Cadd2          Am      Fmaj7           C
When it came, oh it beat and it boiled and it rang... oh, it's ringing


[Chorus]

Fmaj7             C        Fmaj7
Ring like crazy, ring like hell
         C               Cadd2          Am   Fmaj7
Turn me back into that wild haired gale
Fmaj7               C              Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold
              C         Cadd2      Am   Fmaj7    C
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal
              C         Cadd2      Am   Fmaj7    C
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal
