Verse
A#m F#
Born in a sorry cot, left on the stairs of the cold stone
G# F7
Damned to be scorned, in darkness, damned to be alone
A#m F#
Taken by the church, his soul will be a slave of God
G# F7
In the belfry's beauty is his figure something odd
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F# C# G# A#m
We see the hunchback in Notre Dame
F# C# G# F7
Dancing on the tallest to-wers
A#m F7 G# Cm
Arcades and spires, filling his heart
A#m F7 G# D#
Deep like the choir, fine like the art
A#m F7
Is the place my cell, is it?
G# D#
Is God's home my hell?
F# C# D#
Oh, my body imprisons my poor soul
F7
Until I toll
[Chorus]
A#m F#
I am grim, full of gloom
G# C#
In my dim gothic tomb
F# C# D#m
But the bells in my heart chime forever
A#m F#
With the ding that be-longs
G# C#
To the king of their songs
F# C# G# A#m
I'm the sound of Notre Dame
[Verse 2]
A#m F#
In the wheel of life, he is a horror for the crowd
G# F7
When will be the time he'll see the sun between the clouds?
A#m F#
Looking at the bells he thinks about his tragic fate
G# F7
Wants to be a rock or metal like his soulless mates
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F# C# G# A#m
We hear the hunchback in Notre Dame
F# C# G# F7
Crying on the tallest to-wers
A#m F7 G# Cm
Gargoyles and columns, his reality
A#m F7 G# D#
Chants which are solemn, his agony
A#m F7
Is the place my cell, is it?
G# D#
Is God's home my hell?
F# C# D#
Oh, my body imprisons my poor soul
F7
Until I toll
[Chorus]
A#m F#
I am grim, full of gloom
G# C#
In my dim gothic tomb
F# C# D#m
But the bells in my heart chime forever
A#m F#
With the ding that belongs
G# C#
To the king of their songs
F# C# G#
I'm the sound of Notre Dame
(Repeat to End)
