Christmas Bells - John Gorka

Capo 3

| C | G6 | Fmaj7-6 | Am G | F | Am G | F G | Am G | F | Fmaj7 |

C G6
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Fmaj7-6 Am G
Their old familiar carols play
F Am G
And wild and sweet, the words repeat
F G Am G
Of peace on earth, good will to men
F G C
Peace on earth, good will to men

C G6
I thought how, as the day had come
Fmaj7-6 Am G
The belfries of all Christendom
F Am G
Had rolled along the unbroken song
F G Am G
Of peace on earth, good will to men
F G C
Peace on earth, good will to men

Fmaj7-6 Am G
And in despair, I bowed my head
F Am G
"There is no peace on earth," I said
F Am G
For hate is strong, and mocks the song
F G Am G
Of peace on earth, good will to men
F G C
Peace on earth, good will to men

| C | G6 | Fmaj7-6 | Am G | F | Am G | F G | Am G | F | Fmaj7 |

C G6
Then pealed the bells, more loud and deep
Fmaj7-6 Am G
God is not dead, nor doth he sleep
F Am G
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
F G Am G
With peace on earth, good will to men
F G C
Peace on earth, good will to men

C G6
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Fmaj7-6 Am G
Their old familiar carols play
F Am G
Wild and sweet, the words repeat
F G Am G
Of peace on earth, good will to men
F G C
Peace on earth, good will to men
F G Am
Peace on earth, good will to men
