Tom : Dm
Dm C7 Am A7 F Gm G7 Dm C7 Am
Morning in Paris, the city awakes
F A7 Dm
To the bells of Notre Dame
C7 F Am
The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes
F C7 F
To the bells of Notre Dame
Gm Am Dm
To the big bells as loud as the thunder
Gm C A
To the little bells soft as a psalm
Dm C7 F
And some say the soul of the city's
Am Dm
The toll of the bells
G7 Am C Am Dm
The bells of No-tre Dame
Dm C7 F Am
Dark was the night when our tale was begun
Dm A7 Dm
On the docks near Notre Dame
Dm C7 F Am
Four frightened gypsies slid silently under
F C7 F
The docks near Notre Dame
Gm Am Dm
But a trap had been laid for the gypsies
Gm C7 A
And they gazed up in fear and alarm
Dm C7
At a figure whose clutches
F Am Dm
Were iron as much as the bells
G7 Am C Am Dm
The bells of No-tre Dame
