E Esus A E I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play G# C#m E Bsus E And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth goodwill to men
[Verse 2]
E Esus A E I thought how as the day had come The belfries of all Christendom G# C#m E Bsus E Had rolled along th'unbroken song Of peace on earth goodwill to men
[Chorus]
A E A A I can hear them I can hear them I can hear them I can hear them

[Verse 3]
E Esus A E And in despair I bowed my head There is no peace on earth I said G# C#m E Bsus E For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth goodwill to men
[Verse 4/Bridge]
E/G# A E Bsus Then pealed the bells more loud and deep God is not dead nor does He sleep E/G# A E Bsus The wrong shall fail the right prevail With peace on earth goodwill to men
