Lyrics
I (D)heard the bells on
Christmas day, their old familiar carols play.
And wild and sweet the (Gmaj7)words (A)(Bm7)repeat (A)of (Gmaj9)peace on earth,
(A7sus)goodwill to men.
(G)I (D)thought how, as the day had come,
the belfries of all
(Gsus2)Christendom had (D)rolled along the (Gmaj7)(A)unbroken (Bm7)song (A)of (Gmaj9)peace on earth,
(A7)goodwill to men.
(G)'Til (D)ringing, singing on its way,
the world revolved from (Gsus2)night to day.
A (D)voice, a chime, a (Gmaj7)chant bro (A)(Bm7)sublime (A)of (Gmaj9)peace on earth,
(A7)goodwill to men.
(G)'Til (A7sus)will to men.
(Bm9)And in despair
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 (Gmaj7)peace on earth,
(Asus)goodwill to men."
(C)I heard the bells on
Christmas day.
(Asus)Yeah, yeah.
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God (D)is not dead, nor doth He sleep.
(Gmaj7)The (D)wrong shall fail, the (Gmaj7)right (A)(Bm7)prevail,
(A)with (Gmaj9)peace on earth,
(Asus)goodwill to men."
(Bm)Peace on earth, (Gmaj9)goodwill to men.
Peace on earth (Asus)goodwill (A)to (D)men.
(G)Goodwill to men.
(G)I heard the bells on
Christmas (D)day.
(G)Goodwill to men.
(G)I heard the bells on
Christmas (D)day.
