I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day-chro

I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY
W: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

-2  -3   3*  -3   -3   -3*  -3  -3*
I heard the bells on Christ-mas day  
  -4   5  -6  5  -5  -5   4   4
Their old fa-mil-iar car-ols play,  
 4    4   -3*   -3  -3*  -3   3   -2
And mild and  sweet the words re-peat 
3   -3   -3*  4     -5   2   3  -2
Of peace on earth, good will to men. 


-2   -3    3*  -3 -3  -3* -3   -3*
I thought how, as the day had come, 
 4   4   -6   6  -5    -5   4   4
The bel-fries of all Christ-en-dom 
 4     4  -3* -3   -3*   -3  3   -2
Had rolled a-long th’un-brok-en song
3    -3  -3*  4     -5   2   3  -2
Of peace on earth, good will to men. 


And in despair I bow’d my head; 
there is no peace on earth, I said, 
For hate is strong, and mocks the song 
Of peace on earth, good will 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, good will to men. 


Till ringing, singing on its way, 
The world revolved from night to day, 
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, 
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
