Hate to be so negative, but their songs are not to be ruined by wrong chords!
So here it is, Ringing Bells as it should be:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro: There are three ways of playing the intro.

Alt. 1:
You play all notes yourself. ("(x)" indicates a less audible note)
e|------------------------9-----------------------------------9-----------|
B|---------10--------9h10-----10p9h10----------10--------9h10-----10p9h10-|
G|-----------(9)---------------------------------(9)-------------------9--|
D|----9h11-----(11)-----------------------9h11-----(11)-------------------|
A|-12-------------(9)------(9)---------12--------------9-------(9)--------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
(Hold down the 9th fret on each string like a C# barre chord)

Alt. 2:
Two guitars where guitar 1 plays this:
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----9h11--------------------------------9h11----------------------------|
A|-12-------------(9)------(9)---------12--------------9-------(9)--------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

And guitar 2 plys this:
e|------------------------9-----------------------------------9-----------|
B|---------10--------9h10-----10p9h10----------10--------9h10-----10p9h10-|
G|-----------(9)---------------------------------(9)-------------------9--|
D|-------------(11)--------------------------------(11)-------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/mando_diao/ringing_bells_tab.html ]
Alt. 3:
If you're on your own and alt. 1 is too hard, just play the "main" notes:
e|------------------------9-----------------------------------9-----------|
B|---------10--------9h10-----10p9h10----------10--------9h10-----10p9h10-|
G|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----9h11--------------------------------9h11----------------------------|
A|-12----------------------------------12---------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

The chords for the intro are: A - F#m - A - F#m
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse:
   A                F#m      A                F#m
 Stick around your neck and see what it can bring
  E                 D               A         F#m
 Lonely stands the butcher on the ground
  A             F#m  A             F#m
 Little angel fly, fly among the stars
  E            D                A         A7
 Jupiter will comfort you with love

Chorus:
      D                E
 So who are you gonna follow
          C#             F#m
 Are you going out somewhere
         B7                    E7
 Can it be the new thing money enough
   D                   E
 Where's that hat you loved once
          C#            F#m
 Let us spoil it for a day
           B7                      E7
 Bring 'em in she said just for a day
            |A    F#m    A    F#m| x2
 Just for a day

Verse:
 A              F#m A               F#m
 On the way to you between busy moon
   E              D               A    F#m
 Crash beneath a window left in bloom
      A                F#m       A             F#m
 The days are few my friend and winter comes again
   E                 D         A    A7
 Clap, clap and the boy is to lose

Chorus...

Outro: A and F#m alongside the intro riff. Finish with F#m.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's another "campfire" version of the intro, made for a solo acoustic guitar. It was 
by UG for whatever reason so I thought I put it here.

e|-9--------------------------9--------------|
B|-10--10-----10---10----9h10-10----10----10-|
G|-9---9------9----9-----11---11----11----11-|
D|-11--9h11-----11-------11------11----11----|
A|-12------------------9---------9-----9-----|
E|-------------------------------------------|
A capo on the 9th fret will help a lot.
