It was Sunday morning in our town
C F C , F C
And I sat on my steps and I stared at the ground
~. F Am . G
And I bowed my head while they shuffled past
All the C saints being F called C to the F morning G mass
CHORUS:
C F G
And off in the distance there rang a bell
C F C
Way off in the distance there rang a bell
~. F . Am . G
And it rang for the saints and the sinners as well
C F C
Way off in the distance there rang a bell
INTERLUDE: F C
I remember the F lessons C of F Sunday G school
And I C can't help but F think, C maybe F I'm the C fool
~. F Am G
But I see no sign of a greater plan
Just the C joy and the F sorrow C of my F fellow G man
CHORUS:
C F G
And off in the distance there rang a bell

And here we F stand while life C rushes G past
Be C tween the F first C breath and the G last
And C here we F stand between C East and G West
And here we F stand between Am birth and G death

It's a long way from heaven to Bethlehem.
