Bells chords by Audrey Assad

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
  C         F                  G
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
          F        C      G
Their old familiar carols play
    C        F               G
And wild and sweet the words repeat
   F        G      Em       F
Of peace on earth, Peace on earth,
     G       C
good-will to men!


Verse 2:
    C            F              G
And thought how, as the day had come
             F      C        G
The belfries of all Christen-dom
    C      F                  G
Had rolled along the unbroken song
   F        G      Em       F
Of peace on earth, peace on earth,
     G       C
good-will to men!

Verse 3:
    C  F                  G
And in despair I bowed my head
             F        C          G
"There is no peace on earth, " I said
     C       F                    G
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
   F        G      C     Em F
Of peace on earth, peace on earth,
     G       C
good-will to men!"


Verse 4:
     C          F                   G
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
           F         C       G
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep
    C           F               G
The Wrong shall fail, the Right prevail
     F7       Gsus4  E        F
With peace on earth, peace on earth,
     G       C
good-will to men
