I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day(Chords)

   C                 G7 
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day 
C                  Dm      G7 
Their old familiar carols play, 
C                      E     Am 
And wild and sweet the words repeat 
C                       G7      C 
Of peace on earth, good will to men. 

C                     G7 
I thought how, as the day had come, 
C                   Dm       G7 
The belfries of all Christendom 
C                      E      Am 
Had rolled along the unbroken song 
C                       G7      C 
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

C                G7 
And in despair I bowed my head: 
C                     Dm        G7 
'There is no peace on earth,' I said, 
C                       E         Am 
'For hate is strong and mocks the song 
C                       G7      C   
Of peace on earth, good will to men.' 

C                          G7 
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: 
C                     Dm      G7 
'God is not dead, nor doth he sleep; 
C                         E     Am 
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, 
C                         G7      C 
With peace on earth, good will to men.'
