[Verse 1]
   D                    G
I  heard  the bells on Christmas  Day
      Em7           A
Their old familiar carols  play
     F#                Bm     A     G
And wild and sweet the words  re - peat
    Em7               A       D/G
Of peace on earth goodwill to men


 Lead guitar during Verse 2:

   I  thought as how this day had  come     The belfries of all Christendom

[Verse 2]
(Chords)
  D                    G
I thought as how this day had come
    Em7               A
The belfries of all Christendom
    F#               Bm      A   G
Had rung so long the unbro - ken song
   Em7                A       D/G
Of peace on earth goodwill to men


[Chorus 1]
      D          A
I can hear Your voice

I can hear Your voi - ce

[Verse 3]
    Bm           G
And in despair I bowed my head
       Em7              A
There  is  no peace on earth I said
    F#                 Bm       
For hate is strong and mocks the song
   Em7                A       D/G
Of peace on earth goodwill to men (to men, to men!)


[Verse 4]
      D                     G
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
     D                 A
God  is  not dead nor does He sleep
     F#                  Bm     A     G
The wrong shall fail the right pre - vail
   Em7                A       D/G
Of peace on earth goodwill to men


[Chorus 2]
      D          A
I can hear Your voice
      Bm           A/C#
I can hear Your voi - ce
         D          A                       
Like the bells on Christmas (Day)
      D          A
I can hear Your voice
      Bm           A/C#
I can hear Your voi - ce
         D          A                       
Like the bells on Christmas day
