Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
 
C  G/B  Am7  G  D    G
G  Gsus4  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                                Gsus4
 I heard the bells on Christmas day
G                             Bsus4  B/D#
 Their old, familiar carols play
    Em         G/B       A/C#
And wild and sweet their words repeat
   C     G/B Am7    G    D       G   Gsus4
Of peace on  earth, good-will to men
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                                 Gsus4
 And thought how, as the day had come
G                            Bsus4  B/D#
 The steeples of all Christendom
    Em       G/B       A/C#
Had rolled along the unbroken song
   C     G/B Am7    G    D       C
Of peace on  earth, good-will to men
 
 
[Chorus]
             G/B                   C
I heard them ringing, I heard them ringing
G/D                               Dsus4 D   D/C
All across the earth I heard them rin - ging
            G/B                  C
The bells remember, they ring forever
G/D                          Dsus4 D
Unto us a child is born, our Sa - vior
    Dsus4 D
Our Sa - vior
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                            Gsus4
 But, in despair, I bowed my head
G                                Bsus4 B/D#
'There is no peace on earth', I said
    Em         G/B     A/C#
For hate is strong and mocks the song
   C     G/B Am7    G    D       C
Of peace on  earth, good-will to men
 
 
[Chorus]
             G/B                   C
I heard them ringing, I heard them ringing
G/D                               Dsus4 D   D/C
All across the earth I heard them rin - ging
            G/B                  C
The bells remember, they ring forever
G/D                          Dsus4 D
Unto us a child is born, our Sa - vior
    Dsus4 D
Our Sa - vior
 
 
[Verse 4]
G                                     Gsus4
 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
G                              Bsus4  B/D#
 God is not dead nor does He sleep
    Em           G/B      A/C#
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
     C     G/B Am7    G    D       C
With peace on  earth, good-will to men
 
 
[Chorus]
             G/B                   C
I heard them ringing, I heard them ringing
G/D                               Dsus4 D   D/C
All across the earth I heard them rin - ging
            G/B                  C
The bells remember, they ring forever
G/D                          Dsus4 D
Unto us a child is born, our Sa - vior
    Dsus4 D
Our Sa - vior
    Dsus4 D
Our Sa - vior
