[Intro]

        x2


[Verse 1]

            
Who led you to

             
 this hiding p

lace
             
Whose lightnin

              
g thread-spun 

       
silver tongue
            
The red bells 

              
beckon you to 


ride
             
A handprint on

              
 the driver's 


side
   
It looks a lot

 like engine o

il
    
and tastes lik

e being poor a

nd small
            
and popsicles 

   
in summer


[Chorus]

       
Deep red bells
            
Deep as I have

      
 been done
    
Deep red bells
            
Deep as I have

      
 been done


[Verse 2]

            
It always has 

           
to come to thi

s
             
The red bells 

              
ring this trag

   
ic hour
            
We've lost sig

              
ht of the over


pass
             
But daylight w

              
on't remember 


that
   
No speckled fa

wns graze 'rou

nd your bones
    
Who took the t

ime to fold yo

ur clothes
            
And shook the 

              
valley of the 

 
shadow


[Chorus]

       
Deep red bells
            
Deep as I have

      
 been done
    
Deep red bells
            
Deep as I have

      
 been done


[Interlude]

                (hold)


[Bridge]

              
Where does thi

              
s mean world c

        
ast its cold e

ye?

Who's left to suffer long about you?
          
Does your soul

 cast about li

ke an old pape

r bag

Past empty lots and early graves
   
Of those like 

you who lost t

heir way

Murdered on th

e interstate
             
While the red 

              
bells rang lik

  
e thunder


[Chorus]

           
Oh, deep red b

ells
            
Deep as I have

      
 been done
    
Deep red bells
            
Deep as I have

      
 been done


[Outro]
