              (repeat with variations)

VERSE 1
(Am pattern as for intro, with minor variations)
  Let's build a belltower here, babe
  Watch the grass around it grow
  Build a big belltower here now
  Shelter from the sun in its sharp shadow
  Build it along classic lines
  Somewhere secluded like here
  Right here by these trees and this flowing river
  Never let it chime, never let it toll
  Rain falls to trickle, trickle turns to flow

CHORUS
(chords as shown)
  C (x32013)     F+2 (133213)
  Shine and blow, don't water still flow
  C                          F+2
  Beneath this ice and driven snow
      C                       F+2
  And people say they can tell there's no crack in this bell
  C                        F+2
  I know I'll never let it toll
          G (320033)       G6 (320030)       Am (x02210)
  'Cos I'm ringing out, I'm ringing for you
  Am
  Only the tower knows

BRIDGE
(as for intro)

CHORUS
(as before)

BRIDGE
(as for intro)

VERSE 2
(Am pattern, finish on a strummed Am chord)
  Never let 'em know how it feels
  It's just the seasons that are real
  Let's build a belltower here, baby
  Let's build a belltower here, right here
