The Bells Of Rhymney 
written by Pete Seeger & I. Davies 

D G G/F# E D
Oh what will you give me say the sad bells of Rhymney 
D C G/B A
Is there hope for the future say the brown bells of Merthur 
D C G A 
Who made the mine owner say the black bells of Rhonda 
D G G/F# E D 
And who killed the miner say the grim bells of Blaina 
G G/F# E D 
Throw the vandals in court say the bells of Newport 
D Bm C G A 
All would be well if if if if cry the green bells of Cardiff 
D Bm G G/F# E 
Why so worried sisters why sang the silver bells of Wye 
D G G/F# E D 
And what will you give me say the sad bells of Rhymney

Oh what will you give me say the sad bells of Rhymney

Is there hope for the future say the brown bells of Merthur

Who made the mine owner say the black bells of Rhonda 
D G G/F# E D 
And who killed the miner say the grim bells of Blaina
