He says that as a kid he learned a song, "Chimes of Trinity." Later, he sang it for Dylan, who used it as a basis for "Chimes of Freedom." So, I'm looking for the lyrics to "Chimes of Trinity." I found sheet music for a song of that name at memory.loc.gov/ammem/smhtml/sm1870Titles54.html but I don't think that's the right song. I found a recording of the tune at cylinders.library.ucsb.edu/search. php?query=Tubular+bells&queryType=@attr+1=21 actually played on chimes, but there's no vocal, just an instrumental. About 55 seconds in, it goes to what is clearly recognizable as the B part of "Chimes of Freedom," so it's the right tune. I also found a CD of Christmas tunes available at various online outlets, a CD which has the right "Chimes of Trinity," but again I think it's done as an instrumental. Just so no one else goes down the wrong track, here's the first verse of the wrong "Chimes of Trinity." I love to listen to Trinity chimes on the last day of the year I love to stand at the old church gate when the chimes ring loud and clear For the chimes that ring with a merry din recall the sweet long ago When to church I hied by my dear mother's side while the belfry swang to and fro (2x) |
