I [D]heard the bells on [Em]Christmas day, their [D/F#]old familiar [Dsus]carols play

A voice, a chime, a chant sublime of peace on earth, goodwill to men

And in despair I bowed my head, "there is no peace on earth", I said
"For [D/F#]hate is strong and [G]mocks [A]the [Bm]song [A]of [G]peace on earth,[Asus] goodwill to [C2]men

Then [D]pealed the bells more [Em]loud and deep, God [D/F#]is not dead nor [G]doth he sleep
The [D/F#]wrong shall fail, the [G]right [A]pre[Bm]vail [A]with [G]peace on earth, good[Asus]will to men
[Bm]Peace on earth, good[G]will to men
Peace on earth, good[Asus]will [A]to [D]men[Em] [D/F#] [G]
