Is there any way to use the sound of a chime or church bell?

I need it for a song.

That would depend on what's available in your MIDI synth or soundfont...

E.G. in my Yamaha S-YXG50 softsynth there is a church bell at patch 14 in bank 96, or a "Christmas Bell" at patch 98 in bank 67...  There are probably others too...

Otherwise, you might find the "Chromatic Percussion" from patches 7 to 14 in the standard GM set may hold something useful for you - particularly patch 14 which is the tubular bells.

Other than that I can't really help.
I plays 'Bones, crumpets, coronets, floosgals, youfonymums 'n tubies.

Tubular Bells seems to work just fine for me. Thanks.
