Capo di fret ke-1

[Intro]
Am Am/G

[Verse 1]
                        C
The birds they sang
at the break of day
            G
Start again
                     C C7
I heard them say
            E7
Don't dwell on what
      Am
has passed away
                  G         Gsus4 G5 G7 G
or what is yet to be.

                               C
The wars they will
be fought again
                      G
The holy dove
               C
be caught again
             E7
bought and sold
   Am
and bought again
G         Gsus4      G5 G7 G
the dove is never free.

[Chorus]
              F                Bb             F
Ring the bells that still can ring.
                     Bb              F
Forget your perfect offering.
                C            Bb                 F
There is a crack, a crack, in everything.
                        Dm                 G Gsus4 G
That's how the light gets in.

[Verse 2]
            C
We asked for signs
the signs were sent:
              G
the birth betrayed
             C7
the marriage spent
         E7
the widowhood
     Am
of every government -
G        Gsus4       G5 G7 G
signs for all to see.

C
Can't run no more
C
with the lawless crowd
                    G
while the killers in high places
                   C
say their prayers out loud.
                        E7
But they've summoned up
   Am
A thundercloud
G         Gsus4       G5  G7  G
and they're going to hear from me.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
                C
You can add up the parts
C
but you won't have the sum
            G
You can strike up the march,
            C
there is no drum
E7
Every heart
      Am
to love will come
G        Gsus4          G5 G7 G
but like a refugee.

[Chorus]

               F            Bb                F
Ring the bells that still can ring.
                     Bb                 F
Forget your perfect offering.
                 C            Bb               F
There is a crack, a crack, in everything.
                         Dm                   G Gsus4 G
That's how the light gets in.
