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

And in de spair I (Bb)bowed my (C)head.

“There (Dm)is no peace on (E)earth,” I (Am)said.

“For (C)hate is strong and (D)mocks the song of (Gm)peace on earth good (G7)will to (C7)men.” Then (F)pealed the bells more (Bb)loud and (C)deep, “God (Dm)is not dead, nor (E)doth He (Am)sleep.
