Remember when our songs were just like prayers.
     D      D              Bm            G
Like gospel hymns that you called in the air.
D                          G
Come down come down sweet reverence,
D       D       Bm       G
unto my simple house and ring...and ring.

Ring like silver, ring like gold
      D        D             Bm     G
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio
G                     D           G
Ring like clear day wedding bells
             D           D           Bm        G
We’re we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell...we'll never tell.

F#m                   G          D     G         D
Come to me clear and cold on some sea
F#m                       G               D     A
Watch the world spinning waves...like machines

Verse:
D                               G
Now I,ve been crazy couldn't you tell
        D            D            Bm        G
I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell.
D                                           G
Now I'm covered up in straw, belly up on the table
         D         D                Bm                  G
Well and drank and sang, and passed in the stable.

Verse:
D                              G
That tall grass grows high and brown,
        D           D               Bm    G
Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground
D                               G
and you sent me back to where I roam
        D           D          Bm    G
Well I cursed and I cried, but now I know...now I know

Interlude: D  G  D

Verse:
D                      D       G
and I ran back to that hollow again
    D        D        Bm         G
The moon was just as sliver back then
D                            D      G
and I ached for my hear like some tin man
        D          D             Bm          G
When it came oh it beat and it boiled and it rang...it's ringing

Interlude: D  G  D

Chorus:
G                 D      G
Ring like crazy, ring like hell
         D   D          Bm         G
Turn me back into that wild haired gale
G                 D       G
Ring like silver, ring like gold
              D     D           Bm  G
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal.
