I (F)heard the (F)bells on (Bb)Christ mas (C7)day, their (Dm)old fa mil iar (E)car ols (Am)play, and (Gm)wild and (C7)sweet the (A)words re (D7)peat of (Gm)peace on (D7)earth, good (Dm6)will to (C7)men.

I (F)thought as (F)now this (Bb)day had (C7)come, the (Dm)bel fries of all (E)Chris ten (Am)dom had (Gm)rung so (C7)long the un (A)bro ken (D7)song of (Gm)peace on (D7)earth, good (Gm7)will (C7)to (F)men.

And (F)in de (F)spair I (Bb)bowed my (C7)head: “There (Dm)is no peace on (E)earth,” I (Am)said, “For (Gm)hate is (C7)strong and (A)mocks the (D7)song of (Gm)peace on (D7)earth, good (Dm6)will to (C7)men.” Then (F)pealed the (F)bells more (Bb)loud and (C7)deep: “God (Dm)is not dead, nor (E)doth He (Am)sleep.

The (Gm)wrong shall (C7)fail, the un (A)right pre (D7)vail, with (Gm)peace on (D7)earth good (Gm7)will (C7)to (F)men.”
