Verse 1:
  C         Am       Dm7       G7
I heard the bells on Christmas day
      Am           B7     Em
Their old familiar carols play
    Dm7      G7        Em      A7
And wild and sweet the words repeat
   Dm7                  G7
Of peace on earth, good will to men

Verse 2:
    C            Am     Dm7     G7
And thought how, as the day had come,
    Am              B7      Em
The belfries of all Christendom
    Dm7     G7         Em     A7
Had rolled along the unbroken song
   Dm7                  G7
Of peace on earth, good will to men

Verse 3:
     C        Am      Dm7    G7
Till ringing, singing on its way,
    Am                  B7       Em
The world revolved from night to day,
Dm7 G7 Em A7
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
   Dm7                  G7      C
Of peace on earth, good will to men

Verse 4:
     C         Am       Dm7    G7
Then from each black, accursed mouth
    Am               B7     Em
The cannon thundered in the South,
    Dm7      G7        Em     A7
And with the sound the carols drowned
   Dm7                  G7
Of peace on earth, good will to men

Verse 5:
   C      Am    Dm7        G7
It was as if an earthquake rent
    Am                 B7   Em
The hearth-stones of a continent,
    Dm7     G7       Em         A7
And made forlorn the households born
   Dm7                  G7
Of peace on earth, good will to men

Verse 6:
    C     Am     Dm7      G7
And in despair I bowed my head;
       Am             B7        Em
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
     Dm7     G7          Em        A7
"For hate is strong, and mocks the song
   Dm7                  G7
Of peace on earth, good will to men"

Verse 7:
     C          Am         Dm7      G7
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
     Am               B7      Em
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
    Dm7         G7        Em       A7
The Wrong shall fail, the Right prevail,
     Dm7                  G7      C
With peace on earth, good will to men"
