Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief It takes a thief to catch a thief For whom does the bell toll for, love? It tolls for you and me. My pulse is runnin' through my palm The sharp hills are rising from Yellow fields with twisted oaks that groan Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Cm  C7  Cm7  C9  D  Dm  Dm7  F  F+  Gm  G7  Gm7  Bdim  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
