Intro: Gm Eb Bb D7

                          Gm
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Eb                      Bb
Their old familiar carols play
D7                           Gm
And mild and sweet their songs repeat
Eb                        Bb    ( D7 )
Of peace on earth good will to men

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Eb            Bb   Eb          Bb
Peace on earth, Peace on earth
Eb           Gm               F
Peace on earth, Good will to men
