I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day chords by The Civil Wars
Guitar chords with lyrics
This is my interpretation of the song, there are no actual tabs anywhere else for it so I tried to do it by ear, but there are quite a few changes from the original in the chorus. To play along with the original use capo 5th but I play with no capo.

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Am E/Am F#/G G
Their old familiar carols play,
Dm G Em A
And wild and sweet the words repeat
C F E Am
Of peace on earth, good will to men

Am E/Am D G
I thought how, as the day had come,
Am E/Am F#/G G
The belfries of all Christendom
Dm G Em C
Had rolled along the unbroken song
C F E Am
Of peace on earth, good will to men

C Dm G
And in despair I bowed my head:
C F G
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
A7 Dm G
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
C F G Am
Of peace on earth, good will to men"

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
Am E/Am F#/G G
God is not dead, nor doth he sleep,
Dm G Em A
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
C F E Am
