I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day
Recorded by Larry Sparks
Written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Johnny Marks
C Am D7 G7
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Am Em B7 Em
Their old familiar carols play
G7 A7
And wild and sweet the words repeat
D7 G7
Of peace on earth good will to men
C Am D7 G7
I thought of how as the day had come
Am Em B7 Em
The belfries of all Christendom
G7 A7
Had rolled along this unbroken song
D7 G7 C
Of peace on earth good will to men
Am D7 G7
And in despair I bowed my head
Am Em B7 Em
There is no peace on earth I said
G7 A7
For hate is strong and mocks the song
D7 G7
Of peace on earth good will to men
C Am D7 G7
Then ring the bells more loud and deep
Am Em B7 Em
God is not dead nor doth he sleep
G7 A7
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
D7 G7 C
With peace on earth good will to men
Am D7 G7
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Am Em B7 Em
Their old familiar carols play
G7 A7
And wild and sweet the words repeat
D7 G7 C
Of peace on earth good will to men
G7 A7
And wild and sweet the words repeat
D7 G7 C
Of peace on earth good will to men
D7 G7 C
Of peace on earth good will to men
