   D                    G
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
      Em7          A
Their old familiar carols play
    F#                 Bm  (walkdown)
And wild and sweet the words repeat
   Em7                 A       D/G
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men

   D                  G
I thought as now this day had come
    Em7             A
The belfries of all Christendom
    F#           Bm   (walkdown)
Had rung so long unbroken song
   Em7                 A       D/G
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men

      D              A       Bm        A/C#
I can hear Your voice, I can hear Your voice
         D        A
Like the bells on Christmas Day

Break: G-A-Bm-A/C# (2X)

    D            G
And in despair I bowed my head
      Em7             A       
There is  no peace on earth, I said
    F#                 Bm  (walkdown)
For hate is strong and mocks the song
   Em7                 A       D/G
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men

     G                     D/F#
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
    G                Em7
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep
    A                      F#
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
     Bm  (walkdown) Em7  A       D
With peace on earth, goodwill to men

Tag: (chorus lyrics)

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
of peace on earth goodwill to men

I thought how as the day had come
the belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along unbroken song
of peace on earth goodwill to men

I can hear your voice, I can hear your voice
like the bells on Christmas Day.

And in despair I bowed my head
"there is no peace on earth" I said
For hate is strong that mocks the song
of peace on earth goodwill to men

(Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor does he sleep
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
with peace on earth goodwill to men)

Till ringin' singin' on its way
the world revolve from night to day
A voice a chime a chant sublime
of peace on earth goodwill to men

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor does he sleep
The wrong shall fail the right prevail 
with peace on earth goodwill to men
