LYRICS
I (D)heard the bells on Christ mas day, their (D)old fa mil iar car ols play.
And (D)wild and sweet the (Gmaj7)words (A)re (Bm7)peat (A)of peace on earth,
good will to men.
I thought how, as the day had come,
the (D)bel fries of all Chris ten dom
had (D)rolled a long
the (Gmaj7)un bro (A)ken (Bm7)song (A)of peace on earth, good (A7)will to men.
’Til ring ing, sing ing on its way,
the (D)world re volved from night to day.
A (D)voice, a chime,
a (Gmaj7)chant bro (A)sub (Bm7)lime (A)of peace on earth, good (A7)will to men.
’Til (A7sus)will to men.
And (Bm9)in de spair
I bowed my head:
“There (Bm13)is no peace on earth,” I said,
“for (Bm9)hate is strong,
and (Gmaj7)mocks (A)the (Bm7)song (A)of peace on earth,
good will to men.”
I heard the bells on Christ mas (C)day.
(Asus)Yeah,
yeah.
Then
pealed the bells more loud and deep: “God (D)is not dead, nor doth He sleep.
The (D)wrong shall fail, the (Gmaj7)right (A)pre (Bm7)vail, (A)with peace on earth, good (Asus)will to men.”
Peace on earth, good (Gmaj9)will to men.
Peace on earth good (Asus)will
(A)to
(D)men.
Good will to men.
(G)I heard the bells on Christ mas (D)day.
Good will to men.
(G)I heard the bells on Christ mas (D)day.
