capo 5

C      C/B  Am     C/B
Look at the world, it's walking up
C     C/B    F  G
I couldn't sleep for dreaming
C    C/B  Am    C/B
My weary soul is finally home
C     C/B    F  G
I had the strangest feeling

Am        G
This is the dawn, the break of day
Am        G
After the midnight parted
C       C/B Am     C/B
These ringing ears have waited years
F          G C
To hear the bells of Harlem

Far down the streets, I see the signs
The crowd is breathing faster
Some must have walked a hundred blocks
I see the flocks and pastors

Oh what a time, to be alive
Tears of the past forgotten
It's been a long, and lonely night
I hear the bells of Harlem

Am             Em
They ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
Am     F    G
The darkest hour has passed
Am             Em     G
They ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
D        G
A little joy at long last

Am         G
The brightest rose, ain't no more cane
Am          G
We ground it down to sorghum
C      C/B  Am     C/B
We couldn't stop, the freedom train
F          G C
I hear the bells of Harlem



The lyrics might not be exactly right, that
last verse is particularly hard to make out,
but this song is just gorgeous I think.
