G - Gsus4 - G
 
 
[Verse]

G                                Gsus4
 I heard the bells on Christmas day
G                             Bsus4  B/D#
 Their old, familiar carols play
    Em         G/B       A/C#
And wild and sweet their words repeat
   C     G/B Am7    G    D       G   Gsus4
Of peace on  earth, good-will to men
 
 
[Verse]

G                 
 And thought how, 
                Gsus4
as the day had come
G                            Bsus4  B/D#
 The steeples of all Christendom
    Em       G/B       A/C#
Had rolled along the unbroken song
   C     G/B Am7    G    D       C
Of peace on  earth, good-will to men
 
 
[Chorus]
             G/B      
I heard them ringing, 
             C
I heard them ringing
G/D                  
All across the earth 
             Dsus4 D D/C
I heard them rin - ging
            G/B                  C
The bells remember, they ring forever
G/D                     
Unto us a child is born, 
     Dsus4 D
our Sa - vior

    Dsus4 D
Our Sa - vior
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                
 But, in despair, 
           Gsus4
I bowed my head
G                    
'There is no peace on 
           Bsus4 B/D#
earth', I said
    Em         G/B     A/C#
For hate is strong and mocks the song
   C     G/B Am7    G    D       C
Of peace on  earth, good-will to men
 
 
[Chorus]
             G/B     
I heard them ringing, 
                   C
I heard them ringing
G/D                 
All across the earth 
             Dsus4 D D/C
I heard them rin - ging
            G/B                  C
The bells remember, they ring forever
G/D                     
Unto us a child is born, 
    Dsus4 D
our Sa - vior

    Dsus4 D
Our Sa - vior
 
 
[Verse]

G                      
 Then pealed the bells 
               Gsus4
more loud and deep
G                              Bsus4  B/D#
 God is not dead nor does He sleep
    Em           G/B      A/C#
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
     C     G/B Am7    G    D       C
With peace on  earth, good-will to men
 
 
[Chorus]
             G/B     
I heard them ringing, 
             C
I heard them ringing
G/D                 
All across the earth 
             Dsus4 D D/C
I heard them rin - ging
            G/B                  C
The bells remember, they ring forever
G/D                     
Unto us a child is born, 
    Dsus4 D
our Sa - vior
    Dsus4 D
Our Sa - vior
    Dsus4 D
Our Sa - vior
