Intro:  Gm Eb Bb D7/A

Verse 1:      
                          Gm           Eb 
I heard the bells on Christmas day
                           Bb         F
Their old familiar carols play
                                  Gm              Eb
And mild and sweet their songs repeat
                                Bb          D7/A
Of peace on earth good will to men

Chorus

                        Eb     Bb
And the bells are ringing
                         Eb      Bb
Like a choir they're singing
                         Eb  
In my heart I hear them
           Gm                F
Peace on earth, good will to men


Verse 2:

                           Gm          Eb
And in despair I bowed my head
                             Bb         F
There is no peace on earth I said
                                 Gm      Eb
For hate is strong and mocks the song
                                Bb          D7/A
Of peace on earth, good will to men


Chorus:

                        Eb     Bb
But the bells are ringing
                    Eb      Bb
Like a choir singing
                        Eb  
Does anybody here them?
           Gm                F
Peace on earth, good will to men


Bridge:

Gm            F                   Eb
Then rang the bells more loud and deep
                             Gm          Bb      F
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep
Eb             F2              Eb
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
              Bb                   F
With peace on earth, good will to men


Verse 3:

                            Gm     Eb
Then ringing singing on its way
                                 Bb           F    
The world revolved from night to day
                              Gm            Eb
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
                                 Bb        D7/A
Of peace on earth, good will to men


Chorus:
 
                            Eb         Bb
And the bells they're ringing
                            Eb         Bb
Like a choir they're singing
                                     Eb 
And with our hearts we'll hear them
         Gm                  F
Peace on earth, good will to men

                                    Eb         Bb
Do you hear the bells they're ringing?
                            Eb            Bb
The life the angels singing
                                 Eb
Open up your heart and hear them
         Gm                  F
Peace on earth, good will to men
