[Verso 1]

G                Am7 
Summer's vine is knotted 
Em              C 
Twisting in the ground 
     Em             D/F# 
Wild fennel in the wetlands 
G                 C 
Nightfall hurling down 
G               Am7 
Hear them inthevalley 
     Em                 C 
They called mewhen you fell 
Em              D/F#      Em          C 
What else is asheavy as a missionary bell?

[Verso 2]

          G                 Am7 
There was nothing you could tell me 
Em             C 
No way to describe 
    Em              D/F# 
The puppets and the pirates 
          G               C 
And their banquet at your side 
G               Am7 
Tell me, truly, truly 
Em              C 
For onc, truly tell

A single thing as heavy as a missionary bll

[Verso 3]

   G              Am7 
To shiver by your bedside 
   Em             C 
To walk on broken shells 
Em                      D/F# 
Where on land could you run to 
                 G          C 
Where there's no missionary bells? 
        G                Am7 
They're clanging out the coastline 
        Em              C 
They're sending out the ships 
Em                D/F# 
Across fathomless waters 
 Em               C 
Across the next abyss 
  G                    Am7 
Between the waves, you floated 
  Em                 C 
Between the waves of sound 
Em                D/F# 
Down in discord's undertow 
       G            C 
Where every ship is drowned 
G              Am7 
It tolls every muscle 
Em             C 
It takes every cell 
       Em           D/F#            Em         C 
Not to buckle under the weight of a missionary bell 


[Refrão]

  Am         G 
A missionary bell 
  Am         Em 
A missionary bell 
       G            Em              C          G 
Not to buckle under the weight of a missionary bell
