C Em Am Em
Look at the world, it's waking up
C Em F G
I couldn't sleep for dreaming
C Em Am Em
My weary soul is finally home
C Em F G
I had the strangest feeling
Am G
This is the dawn, the break of day
Am [G G7]
After the midnight pardon
C Em Am Em
These ringing ears have waited years
F G [d c] C Em Am Em
To hear the bells of Harlem
C Em Am Em
Far down the streets, I see the signs
C Em F G
The crowd is breathing faster
C Em Am Em
Some must have walked a hundred blocks
C Em F G
I see the flocks in pastures
Am G
Oh what a time, to be alive
Am [G G7]
Tears of the past forgotten
C Em Am Em
It's been a long, and lonely night
F G [d c]
I hear the bells of Harlem
Am Em
They ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
Am G Em
The darkest hour has passed
Am Em G
They ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
D [D7 G7]
A little joy at long last
Am G
The Brazos rose, ain't no more cane
Am [G G7]
We ground it down to sorghum
C Em Am Em
We couldn't stop, the freedom train
F G [d c]
I hear the bells of Harlem
Fade on C Em Am Em
I apregiate this differently but prefer my way
