"Christmas Bells" - lyrics from a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and
music by John Gorka 1989 (?)

Capo on 3rd fret 

C                    Gmaj6 (32003x)
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
     (xx3210)
      Fmaj7        Am     Am7/G (302010)
Their old familiar carols play

F                  Am      Am7/G
Wild and sweet the words repeat

   F        G          Am      Am7/G
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men

F        G          C       
Peace on earth, goodwill to men


I thought how, as the day had come
The belfrys of all christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men
Peace on earth, goodwill to men

Bridge:
    xx3230
    Fmaj6+7      Am       Am7/G   
And in despair I bowed my head

      Fmaj6+7        Am      Am7/G
There is no peace on earth I said

    F                  Am        Am7/G 
For hate is strong and mocks the song

   F        G          Am      Am7/G
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men

F        G          C
Peace on earth, goodwill to men


Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor doth He sleep
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, goodwill to men
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
F        G          Am
Peace on earth, goodwill to men...
