Capo 2
[Intro]
D G A
[Verse 1]
D G A
I heard the bells on Christmas day
D G A
Their old familiar carols play
Bm G
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Bm G A D
Of peace on earth good will to men.
[Verse 2]
D G A
And thought how as the day had come
D G A
The belfries of all Christendom
Bm G
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Bm G A D
Of peace on earth good will to men.
[Chorus 1]
G
I can hear them
D
I can hear them [Repeat]
[Interlude]
Bm G D A
[Verse 3]
D G A
And in despair I bowed my head
D G A
?There is no peace on earth? I said
Bm G
?For hate is strong and mocks the song
Bm G A D
Of peace on earth good will to men.?
[Interlude 2]
D G A [Repeat]
[Verse 4]
D G A
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
D G A
?God is not dead nor does He sleep;
Bm G
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
Bm A
With peace on earth good will to men.?
[Chorus 2]
G
I can hear them
D
I can hear them [Repeat]
Bm
I can hear you
G
I can hear you
[Outro]
D G A [repeat as needed]
