CAPO: 2


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 



[Refrão]

    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
