I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day – by Jimmie Rodgers
Chords by Russ Doiron
(Capo 3)
C G7
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
C Dm G7
Their old familiar carols play,
C E Am
And wild and sweet the words repeat
C G7 C
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
C G7
I thought how, as the day had come,
C Dm G7
The belfries of all Christendom
C E Am
Had rolled along the unbroken song
C G7 C
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
(Capo 4) – key change: ½ step up
C G7
And in despair I bowed my head:
C Dm G7
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
C E Am
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
C G7 C
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
C G7
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
C Dm G7
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
C E Am
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
C G7 C
With peace on earth, good will to men."
