Verse 1 
C 					       Fmaj7 
Remember when our songs were just like prayers. 
        C		Cadd2		Am	     Fmaj7 
Like gospel hymns that you called in the air. 
C			      Fmaj7 
Come down come down sweet reverence, 
    C	    Cadd2	      Am	             Fmaj7 
unto my simple house and ring...and ring. 

 
Fmaj7		  C	    Fmaj7 
Ring like silver, ring like gold 
         C      	 Cadd2	         Am   Fmaj7 
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio 
Fmaj7		        C		Fmaj7 
Ring like clear day wedding bells
 
              C	        Cadd2		Am      Fmaj7           C 
Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell...we'll never tell. 

Bridge 
Em			Fmaj7		C	Fmaj7	    C 
Come to me clear and cold on some sea 
Em			    Fmaj7	   C		G 
Watch the world spinning waves...like machines 

Verse 2 
Now I,ve been crazy couldn't you tell 
I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell 
Now I'm covered up in straw, belly up on the table 
Well and sang and drank, and passed in the stable. 

Bridge Instrumental 

Verse 3 
That tall grass grows high and brown, 
Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground 
and you sent me back to where I roam 
Well I cursed and I cried, but now I know...now I know 

Verse 4 
and I ran back to that hollow again 
The moon was just a sliver back then 
and I ached for my hear like some tin man 
When it came oh it beat and it boiled and it rang...it's ringing 

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