[Intro 1]
[Am][G]

[Verse 1]
The birds they [C]sang, at the break of day
Start [G]again, I heard them [C]say
Don't [E]dwell on what has passed [Am]away
Or what is [G]yet to be
Yeah, the [C]wars they will be fought again
The holy [G]dove, she will be [C]caught again
[E]Bought and sold and [Am]bought again
The dove [G]is never free

[Chorus 1]
Ring the [F]bells that [Bb]still can [F]ring
Forget your [Bb]perfect offer[F]ing
There is a [C]crack, a [Bb]crack in [F]everything
That's how the light [Dm]gets in
[G][G][G]

[Verse 2]
We asked for [C]signs, the signs were sent
The birth be[G]trayed, the marriage [C]spent
Yeah, the [E]widowhood of every gover[Am]ment
Signs for [G]all to see
I can't run no [C]more with that lawless crowd
While the kill[G]ers in high places
say their prayers [C]out loud
But they've [E]summoned,
they've summoned up a [Am]thundercloud
And they're going to hear from [G]me
(...ring, ring, ring)

[Chorus 2]
Ring the [F]bells that [Bb]still can [F]ring
Forget your [Bb]per fect offer[F]ing
There is a [C]crack, a [Bb]crack in [F]everything
That's how the light [Dm]gets in
[G][G][G]

[Verse 3]
You can add up the [C]parts
you won't have the sum
You can strike up the [G]march,
there is [C]no drum
Every [E]heart, every heart to [Am]love will come
But like a [G]refugee (...ring, ring, ring)

[Chorus 3]
Ring the [F]bells that [Bb]still can [F]ring
Forget your [Bb]per fect offer[F]ing
There is [C]a crack, a c[Bb]rack in everyt[F]hing
That's how the light [Dm]gets in
[G][G][G]
Ring the [F]bells that [Bb]still can [F]ring
Forget your [Bb]per fect offer[F]ing
There is [C]a crack, a c[Bb]rack in everyt[F]hing
That's how the light [Dm]gets in
That's how the light [G]gets in

[Outro 1]
That's how the light gets in
[C][C][G][C]
[E][Am][G][G]
[Repeat and fade]
