[Verse]
The birds they Dsang at the break of day
StartA again, I heaDrd them sD7ay
Don't F#7dwell on what has pBmassed away
or what is Ayet to bAsus4e. A5 A7 A
The wars thDey will be fought again
The holAy dove be caugDht again D7
boughtF#7 and sold and bouBmght again
the dove Ais nevAsus4er free. A5 A7 A
[Chorus]
Ring the Gbells that Cstill canG ring.
Forget your Cperfect offeGring.
There is a Dcrack, a Ccrack, inG everything.
That's how the Emlight gets in. A Asus4 A
[Verse 2]
We asked for sDigns the signs were sent:
the biArth betrayed the maDrriage spD7ent
the F#mwidowhood, of every gBmovernment -
signs forA all tAsus4o see. A5 A7 A
Can't run no moDre with the lawless crowd
while Athe killers in high plDaces say their prayers oD7ut loud.
But they'F#mve summoned up a thBmundercloud
and they'Are goiAsus4ng to hear fA5rom mA7e. A
[Chorus]
Ring the Gbells that Cstill canG ring.
Forget your Cperfect offeGring.
There is a Dcrack, a Ccrack, inG everything.
That's how the Emlight gets in. A Asus4 A
[Verse 3]
You can add up the partDs but you won't have the sum
You can strike Aup the march, therDe is no D7drum
EveF#mry heart to love wiBmll come
but like Aa refuAsus4gee. A5 A7 A
[Chorus]
Ring the Gbells that Cstill canG ring.
Forget your Cperfect offeGring.
There is a Dcrack, a Ccrack, inG everything.
That's how the Emlight gets in. A Asus4 A
Ring the Gbells that Cstill canG ring.
Forget your Cperfect offeGring.
There is a Dcrack, a Ccrack, inG everything.
That's how the Emlight gets in. A Asus4 A
that's how the lEmight gets in A Asus4 A
that's how the liEmght gets in A Asus4 A
