The father heard church bells at midnight

A wrong time for church bells to chime

He went to the tower, found a little girl there
A E A
Said, Why ring the bells at this time?
[Chorus]

I'm just ringing the bells for Jim
E A
Please father, ringing the bells for Jim
D
I'm sorry, I'm crying but my brother Jim is dying
A E A
So, I'm ringing the bells for Jim
[Verse 2]

Please father, pray for him this Christmas

He's sick and he's in so much pain
D
The doctors all say, he'll be gone any day
A E A
So, I must ring the bells again
[Chorus]

I'm just ringing the bells for Jim
E A
Please father, ringing the bells for Jim
D
I'm sorry, I'm crying but my brother Jim is dying
A E A
So, I'm ringing the bells for Jim
[Verse 3]

On the day after Christmas
D E A
She brought him said, Father, heed little Jim
D
You see, he got well, when he heard the church bells
A E A
I was ringing the bells for Jim
[Chorus]
D
I'm just ringing the bells for Jim
E A
Please father, ringing the bells for Jim
D
I'm sorry, I'm crying but my brother Jim is dying

So, I'm ringing the bells for Jim
