verse 1: 
                          F          C      G 
Bells of the evening, oh, sing to my love 
                        F         C 
Tell her I miss her, my own turtledove 
                                F            C 
The streets of the old town are covered with rain 
  G                        F          C 
I think I might never know true love again 


verse 2: 
    F             G            C 
I'm lost with no road signs to guide me 
  F           C           G       Dm 
A slave to my whiskey and dreams 
C                         F            C      G 
Bells of the evening, oh, bells that I love 
                         F          C 
I've got some feelings I long to be rid of 


INTERLUDE: C    F  G  F C  F C 


verse 3: 
N.C. C                      F          C 
I'm  not one to ramble, I'm not one to boast 
       G                    F           C 
Though I had one lover more lovely than most 
                        F          C 
She was a country girl, born to be free 
    G                    F               C 
Who took to the city, by chance there to find me 


verse 4: 
F            G          C 
Bells of the evening go pealing 
F             C            G     Dm 
I'm down here listening to you 
C                         F            C 
Bells of the evening, oh, bells of the sea 
G                                  F           C 
Tell her that I miss her, that I'm lost and so lonely 


INTERLUDE: C    F  G  F C  F C 


VERSE 5: 
                           F            C 
Bells of the evening, your sweet Sunday sound 
  G                            F            C 
Reminds me of the redwoods and moss covered ground 
                          F           C 
So, if I should wander on back to the coast 
G                          F              C 
Tell her to remember, it's her I need the most 


VERSE 6: 
    F                G          C 
I'm caught by the minstrel's misfortune 
   F        C       G       Dm 
Of being forever displaced 
C                         F            C 
Bells of the evening, oh, bells of the sea 
G                                  F           C 
Tell her that I miss her, that I'm lost I'm so lonely
