I Heard The Bells

	  		 
 

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.

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.?

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.?
