The Tremeloes

Three Bells

by The Tremeloes
The Tremeloes

Biography:

The Tremeloes are an English beat group founded in 1958 in Dagenham, Essex, England, and still active today. The group began as Brian Poole & the Tremoloes, the name soon being changed to Brian Poole & the Tremeloes thanks to the spelling mistake of a local newspaper. They were initially cast in the Buddy Holly & the Crickets mould. Decca notoriously chose them over The Beatles, whom they had auditioned on the same day. They first charted with a version of “Twist and Shout” (1963)

Composer: Gilles, Reisfeld

[Intro]
D


[Verse 1]
D
There's a village hidden deep in the valley
G D G D
Among the pine trees half forlorn
D
And there on a sunny morning
D G A D
Little Jimmy Brown was born
D G
So his parents took him to the chapel
E7 A
When he was only one day old
A D
And the priest blessed the little fellow
G A D G
Welcomed Jimmy to the fold ( Baum baum baum baum )


[Chorus]
G
All the chapel bells were ringing
G D
in the little valley town
D D7
And the song that they were singing
D7 G
was for baby Jimmy Brown
G
And the little congregation
B7 Em
prayed for guidance from above
Am G D7
"Lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of meditation"
D7 G
"Guide him with eternal love"


[Verse 2]
D
There's a village hidden deep in the valley
G D G D
Beneath the mountains high above
D
And there, twenty years thereafter
G A D
Jimmy was to meet his love
D G
Many friends were gathered in the chapel
E7 A
And many tears of joy were shed
D
In June on a Sunday morning,
G A D G
Jimmy and his wife were wed. ( Baum baum baum baum )


[Chorus]
G
All the chapel bells were ringing,
G D
'twas a great day in his life
D D7
for the song that they were singing
D7 G
was for Jimmy and his wife
G
And the little congregation
B7 Em
prayed for guidance from above
Am G D7
"Lead us not into temptation, bless with us this celebration"
D7 G
"May their lives be filled with love"


[Verse 3]
D
From the village hidden deep in the valley
G D G D
One rainy morning dark and gray
D
A soul winged its way to heaven
G A D
Jimmy Brown had passed away
D G
Silent people gathered in the chapel
E7 A
To say farewell to their old friend
D
Whose life had been like a flower
G A D G
Budding, blooming till the end ( Baum baum baum baum )


[Outro]
G
Just a lonely bell was ringing
G D
in the little valley town
D D7
and the song that they were singing
D7 G Ab
was for good old Jimmy Brown (little Jimmy Brown)
Ab
And the little congregation
C7 Fm
prayed for guidance from above
Bbm Ab Eb7
"Lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation
Eb7 Ab
of thy great eternal love"
