The Bells Of Monterey Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Dm][G][Dm][G][C]

[Verse 1]
As [C]o 'er the hills,
the rocks, and rails alone
I roamed one [G]day
I had come lost
and rode across to [C]Monterey
We met that night by candlelight
down by the [G]riverside
A dream to me
it seemed to be of life that [C]guide[G][C]
We walked along, I sang a song,
and we were both so [G]gay
And she never dreamed
that I would leave old [C]Monterey
El Domingo, I had to go,
she knew I'd say good[G]bye
They're not so gay, she knelt to pray
With tear -damned [C]eyes[G][C][G][C]
[G][C]
The bells ring out and seem to count
my days in [Am]Monterey[G]
I gazed about and toward the mounds
I rode [C]away
As o 'er the hills, the rocks, and rails
I go my lonely [G]way
My thoughts are still among
the bells of Monterey
[C]
