[Verse 1]
Em
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
G
Constant chill deep inside
Em
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
G C A
On they fight, for they're right, yes, but who's to say?
Em
For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
G
Stiffened wounds test their pride
Em
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
G C A
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
[Chorus]
| E E E G E E E A | E E E G Bb F# |
For whom the bell tolls
| E E E G E E E A | E E E G Bb F# F |
Time marches on
| E E E G E E E A | E E E G Bb F# |
For whom the bell tolls
| E E E G E E E A | E E E G Bb F# F |
[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
Em
Take a look to the sky just before you die
G
It is the last time you will
Em
Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky
G C A
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Em
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
G
He hears the silence so loud
Em
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
G C A
Now they see, what will be, blinded eyes to see
[Chorus]
| E E E G E E E A | E E E G Bb F# |
For whom the bell tolls
| E E E G E E E A | E E E G Bb F# F |
Time marches on
| E E E G E E E A | E E E G Bb F# |
For whom the bell tolls
| E E E G E E E A | E E E G Bb F# F |
