I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

E


[Verse 1]

E                    A
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
      B            E
Their old familiar carols play
    B                  C#m
And wild and sweet the words repeat
   B                    B       E
Of peace on Earth, good will to men


[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

    E                  A
And thought how as the day had come
    B               E
The belfries of all Christendom
    B                C#m
Had rolled along the unbroken song
   B                    B       E
Of peace on Earth, good will to men


[Chorus]

      A
I can hear them
      E
I can hear them
      A
I can hear them
      E
I can hear them

[Interlude]

C#m  A  E  B  E


[Verse 3]

    E            A
And in despair I bowed my head
       B              E
"There is no peace on Earth" I said
    B                  C#m
For hate is strong and mocks the song
   B                    B       E
Of peace on Earth, good will to men


[Bridge]

     G#m                   A
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
    E               B
God is not dead nor does He sleep
    G#m                   A
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
     E                    B
With peace on Earth, good will to men



[Chorus]

      A                E
I can hear You - I can hear You
      A                E
I can hear You – I can hear You
      C#m
I can hear You
      A              E   B
I can hear You yea yea yeah

E

[Ending]

            A
I can still hear You
      E          A
I can hear You
               E
I can hear You now
               A
I can hear You now
               E
I can hear You now
               A
I can hear You now
