[Intro]
N.C.                   
Olim Olim Deus accelere
N.C.                  
Hoc sæculum splendidum
                          Dm Bb
Accelere fiat venire olim ■  ■ 


[Verse]
Dm          C                 F     
■  Morining in Paris the city awakes
                      Dm  
To the bells of Notre Dame
              C          F             
The fisherman fishes the bakerman bakes
                      Fmaj7
To the bells of Notre Dame 
       Gm7       Am7            Dm     
To the big bells as loud as the thunder
   G          C               Am   
To the little bells soft as a psalm
         Dm                  F     
And some say the soul of the city's
                Dm    Am
The toll of the bells ■ 
    Dm       C     Am7 
The bells of Notre Dame
Dsus4          C             
Listen they're ■ beautiful no
                                 Dm            
So many colours of sound so many changing moods
C                            F                         
Because you know they do not ring all by the themselves
     F    
They don't
         Am 
No silly boy
   Dm                               C7   
Up there high high in the dark bell tower
A7                      F     
Lives a mysterious bell ringer
       F                    
Who is this strange creature
    F         
Who What is he
Am       Dm                     
What How did he come to be there
C        A7  Dm                  
How Hush and Clopin will tell you
        Dm                                
It is a tale a tale of a man and a monster
C7                          F             
Dark was the night when our tale was begun
       Dm         A7        
On the docks near Notre Dame
           Dm      
Shut it up will you
         Dm     
We'll be spotted
     Dm        
Hush little one
                        F                                            
Four frightened gypsies slid silently under the docks near Notre Dame
F                                        
Four guilders for safe passage into Paris
      Gm            Am           Dm     
But a trap had been laid for the gypsies
         Gm          C        Am   
And they gazed up in fear and alarm
   Dm           C       
At figure whose clutches
     F               Dm       
Were iron as much as the bells
      Dm           
Judge Claude Frollo
    Gm7   Bbmaj7 C     Dm  
The bells of     Notre Dame
Dm                        
Judge Claude Frollo longed
             Am   
To purge the world
   Am          
Of vice and sin
Gm7        Am        
And he saw corruption
                  Dm    
Everywhere Except within


[Intro]
                                       C         
Bring these gypsy vermin to the palace of justice
    C                        
You there what are you hiding
                Am                   D7 
Stolen goods no doubt take them from her
        Gm
She ran ■ 
D7 Fsus4    D7       
■  Dies iræ dies illa
G                       
Solvet sæclum in favilla
G                      
Teste David cum Sibylla
Am                        
Quantus tremor est futurus
       Am                
Quando Judex est venturus
C                Ab   Eb           
Sanctuary please give us sancturary
        Eb

[Verse]
Dm                       
Stop Cried the Archdeacon
                  Dm   
This is an unholy demon
    Dm                              
I'm sending to hell where it belongs
    C                    F                   
See ■ there the inncoent blood you have spilt
             F            
On the steps of Notre Dame
Dm                              
I am guiltless she ran I pursued
                               F                  
Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt
F                         
On the steps of Notre Dame
   Gm                 
My conscience us clear
            Am7                  Dm     
You can lie to yourself and your minions
                   Gm            A7   
You can claim that you haven't a qualm
        Dm                     F                              Dm  
But you never can run from nor hide what you've done from the eyes
                 C     Am Dm  
The very eyes of Notre ■  Dame
            Am              
And for one time in his life


[Intro]
             Bbmaj7 Am     
Of power and ■      control
Gm7           Am            
Frollo felt a twinge of fear
        Dm           
For his immortal soul
Dm            
What must I do
                                        Dm 
Care for the child and raise it as your own
         Bb                      Dm       
What I'm to be settled with this misshapen
          Dm                                   
Very well let him live with you and your church
          Bb   
Live here Where
                      Dm               Gm                Dm     
Anywhere Just so he's kept locked away where no one else can see
Dm                    
The bell tower perhaps
                  Dm                           
And who knows our Lord works in mysterious ways
Dm7                            
■   Even this foul creature may
                  E7   
Yet prove one day to be


[Verse]
A7             
■  Of use to me
           Dm                         
And Frollo gave the child a cruel name
       Am                   
A name that means halfformed
B                     C        F                  
Quasimodo Now here is a riddle to guess if you can
         Bb                 
Sing the bells of Notre Dame
Am7                    Dm         Bbmaj7
Who is the monster and who is the man   
               Gm7   Am7               Bbmaj7 Am7 Gm7   Bb C    
Sing the bells bells bells bells bells bells  ■   bells ■  bells
