I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

• Verse 1

Verse 1
    Eb            Edim  Bb7
  I heard the bells on Christmas day
F#dim Eb           Bb7
Their old familiar carols play,
Eb  Ab         Eb  Bb9 G        Cm
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Abm6 Eb  Ab  Eb    Ab6  Bb7      Eb
Of peace on earth, good-will to men.

Verse 2
     Eb            Edim Bb7
  I thought how, as the day had come,
F#dim Eb            Bb7
The belfries of all Christendom
Eb  Ab        Eb  Bb9 G        Cm
Had rolled along th’unbroken song
Abm6 Eb  Ab  Eb    Ab6  Bb7      Eb
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Verse 3
      Eb        Edim Bb7
  And in despair I bowed my head:
F#dim  Eb             Bb7
“There is no peace on earth,” I said,
 Eb  Ab        Eb   Bb9 G         Cm
“For hate is strong and mocks the song
Abm6 Eb  Ab  Eb    Ab6  Bb7      Eb
Of peace on earth, good will to men.”

Verse 4
          Eb             Edim  Bb7
   Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
F#dim Eb              Bb7
“God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
Eb  Ab           Eb   Bb9 G        Cm
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
Abm6 Eb  Ab  Eb    Ab6  Bb7      Eb
With peace on earth, good will to men.”

Verse 5
        Eb          Edim  Bb7
  Till, ringing, singing, on its way,
F#dim Eb                Bb7
The world revolved from night to day,
Eb  Ab       Eb  Bb9 G        Cm
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Abm6 Eb  Ab  Eb    Ab6  Bb7      Eb
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
