    Christmas Bells - John Gorka

Capo 3

| C | G6 | Fmaj7-6 | Am G | F | Am G | F G | Am G | F | Fmaj7 |

C (x32010@1)                     G6 (320000@1)  I heard the bells on Christmas day
      Fmaj7-6      Am (x02210@1)   GTheir (320003@1)old familiar carols play
    F (133211@1)                 Am (x02210@1)    GAnd (320003@1)wild and sweet, the words repeat
   F (133211@1)      G (320003@1)         Am (x02210@1)        GOf (320003@1)peace on earth, good will to men
F (133211@1)      G (320003@1)         CPeace (x32010@1)on earth, good will to men

  C (x32010@1)                 G6I (320000@1)thought how, as the day had come
    Fmaj7-6         Am (x02210@1)        GThe (320003@1)belfries of all Christendom
    F (133211@1)                Am (x02210@1)   GHad (320003@1)rolled along the unbroken song
   F (133211@1)      G (320003@1)         Am (x02210@1)        GOf (320003@1)peace on earth, good will to men
F (133211@1)      G (320003@1)         CPeace (x32010@1)on earth, good will to men

      Fmaj7-6       Am (x02210@1)     G (320003@1) And in despair, I bowed my head
         F (133211@1)            Am (x02210@1)      G (320003@1) "There is no peace on earth," I said
      F (133211@1)                 Am (x02210@1)      G (320003@1) For hate is strong, and mocks the song
     F (133211@1)      G (320003@1)         Am (x02210@1)        G (320003@1) Of peace on earth, good will to men
  F (133211@1)      G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1) Peace on earth, good will to men

| C | G6 | Fmaj7-6 | Am G | F | Am G | F G | Am G | F | Fmaj7 |

     C (x32010@1)                    G6Then (320000@1)pealed the bells, more loud and deep
    Fmaj7-6          Am (x02210@1)    GGod (320003@1)is not dead, nor doth he sleep
    F (133211@1)                   Am (x02210@1)     GThe (320003@1)wrong shall fail, the right prevail
     F (133211@1)      G (320003@1)         Am (x02210@1)        GWith (320003@1)peace on earth, good will to men
F (133211@1)      G (320003@1)         CPeace (x32010@1)on earth, good will to men

  C (x32010@1)                G6I (320000@1)heard the bells on Christmas day
      Fmaj7-6      Am (x02210@1)   GTheir (320003@1)old familiar carols play
F (133211@1)                    Am (x02210@1)    G (320003@1)  Wild and sweet, the words repeat
