Chris Tomlin - I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]

C G/B Am7 G D G
G Gsus4 G

[Verse 1]
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 2]
G Gsus4
And thought how, 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 C
I heard them ringing, I heard them ringing
G/D Dsus4 D D/C
All across the earth I heard them rin – ging
G/B C
The bells remember, they ring forever
G/D Dsus4 D
Unto us a child is born, our Sa – vior
Dsus4 D
Our Sa – vior

[Verse 3]
G Gsus4
But, in despair, I bowed my head
G Bsus4 B/D#
‘There is no peace on 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 C
I heard them ringing, I heard them ringing
G/D Dsus4 D D/C
All across the earth I heard them rin – ging
G/B C
The bells remember, they ring forever
G/D Dsus4 D
Unto us a child is born, our Sa – vior
Dsus4 D
Our Sa – vior

[Verse 4]
G Gsus4
Then pealed the bells 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 C
I heard them ringing, I heard them ringing
G/D Dsus4 D D/C
All across the earth I heard them rin – ging
G/B C
The bells remember, they ring forever
G/D Dsus4 D
Unto us a child is born, our Sa – vior
Dsus4 D
Our Sa – vior
Dsus4 D
Our Sa – vior
