I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

Intro: G Am Em Em (x2)

  G         Am       C
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
      G      Am     Em
Their old, familiar carols play,
    G        Am
and wild and sweet
    C
The words repeat
   C
Of peace on earth, good-will....to men!

G Am Em Em (x2)


     G        Am      C
Till ringing, singing on its way,
    G       Am          Em
The world revolved from night to day,
  G        Am
A voice, a chime,
  C
A chant sublime
   C
Of peace on earth, good-will....to men!

G Am Em Em (x4)


    G     Am      C
And in despair I bowed my head;
       G     Am       Em
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
     G       Am
"For hate is strong,
    C
And mocks the song
   C                                     C
Of peace on earth, good-will....to men!"


     G          Am          C
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
     G      Am        Em
"God is not dead, And not asleep;
    G           Am
The Wrong shall fail,
    C
The Right prevail,
     C                                (G)
With Peace on earth, good-will to men
G        Am          Em      Em
Peace on earth, good-will to men [x3]
C                            G
Peace on earth, good-will to men
