[Dm] [Am]
[D] [Dm] [Am]
[A] I heard the bells [A] on Christmas [C] day, [Dm] their old familiar carols [C] play
[G] And wild [C] and sweet [Am] the [D] words repeat, [Bb] of peace on [C] earth, [C] goodwill to [Dm] men
[D] I thought how [A] has the day had come, [Dm] the battlefields of old, [C] crescent and dawn
[Gm] And rolled along [Am] the unbroken song, [Bb] of peace on earth, [C] goodwill to [Dm] men
And [A]
[F] in despair [Gm] I'm out [C] my head, there [F] is no peace [Bb] on [C] earth I said
[B] For hate is strong, [G] and marks the song, [F] of peace [Dm] on earth, [C] goodwill to [Dm] men
[D] [Dm]
[D] [Dm] Then hear the bells [A] more loud [C] and deep, [A] God is not dead nor does he [C] sleep
[Gm] The wrong [Cm] shall fail, [Am] the [D] right prevail, with [Bb] peace on earth, [C] goodwill to [F] men
