I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day – by Jimmie Rodgers Chords by Russ Doiron
   C                 G7
[tab]C                  Dm      G7
Their old familiar carols play,

C                      E     Am
And wild and sweet the words repeat

C                       G7      C
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

C                     G7
I thought how, as the day had come,

C                   Dm       G7
The belfries of all Christendom

C                      E      Am
Had rolled along the unbroken song

C                       G7      C
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
(Capo 4) – key change: ½ step up
C                G7
And in despair I bowed my head:

C                     Dm        G7
"There is no peace on earth," I said,

C                       E         Am
"For hate is strong and mocks the song

C                       G7      C  
Of peace on earth, good will to men."

C                          G7
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:

C                     Dm      G7
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;

C                         E     Am
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,

C                         G7      C
With peace on earth, good will to men."
