Introduction:
Eb Eº Bb7
I heard the bells on Christmas day
F#º Eb Bb7
Their old familiar carols play,
Eb Ab Eb Bb9 G Cm
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Abm6 Eb Ab Eb Ab6 Bb7 Eb
Of peace on earth, good-will to men.
Eb Eº Bb7
I thought how, as the day had come,
F#º Eb Bb7
The belfries of all Christendom
Eb Ab Eb Bb9 G Cm
Had rolled along th&rsquo unbroken song
Abm6 Eb Ab Eb Ab6 Bb7 Eb
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
Eb Eº Bb7
And in despair I bowed my head:
F#º Eb Bb7
&ldquo There is no peace on earth,&rdquo I said,
Eb Ab Eb Bb9 G Cm
&ldquo For hate is strong and mocks the song
Abm6 Eb Ab Eb Ab6 Bb7 Eb
Of peace on earth, good will to men.&rdquo
Eb Eº Bb7
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
F#º Eb Bb7
&ldquo God is not dead, nor doth he sleep
Eb Ab Eb Bb9 G Cm
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
Abm6 Eb Ab Eb Ab6 Bb7 Eb
With peace on earth, good will to men.&rdquo
Eb Eº Bb7
Till, ringing, singing, on its way,
F#º Eb Bb7
The world revolved from night to day,
Eb Ab Eb Bb9 G Cm
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Abm6 Eb Ab Eb Ab6 Bb7 Eb
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
