[Verse 1]
F G
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Em Am Dm G
Their old familiar carols play
F G C G/B Am
And wild and sweet, the words repeat
F Em Dm C Dm G
Of peace on earth, good will to men
[Verse 2]
C F G
I thought as now, this day had come
Em Am Dm G
The belfries of all Christendom
F G C G/B Am
Had tolled so loud the unbroken song
F Em Dm C Dm G
Of peace on earth, good will to men
[Verse 3]
C F G
And in despair, I bowed my head
Em Am Dm G
There is no peace on earth, I said
F G C G/B Am
For hate is strong, and mocks the song
F Em Dm C Dm G
Of peace on earth, good will to men
[Verse 4]
C F G
Then pealed the bells, more loud and deep
Em Am Dm G
God is not dead, nor doth he sleep
F G C G/B Am
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
F Em Dm C Dm G
With peace on earth, good will to men
[Instrumental]
