Christmas Bells - John Gorka
Capo 3
| C | G6 | Fmaj7-6 | Am G | F | Am G | F G | Am G | F | Fmaj7 |
C G6
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Fmaj7-6 Am G
Their old familiar carols play
F Am G
And wild and sweet, the words repeat
F G Am G
Of peace on earth, good will to men
F G C
Peace on earth, good will to men
C G6
I thought how, as the day had come
Fmaj7-6 Am G
The belfries of all Christendom
F Am G
Had rolled along the unbroken song
F G Am G
Of peace on earth, good will to men
F G C
Peace on earth, good will to men
Fmaj7-6 Am G
And in despair, I bowed my head
F Am G
"There is no peace on earth," I said
F Am G
For hate is strong, and mocks the song
F G Am G
Of peace on earth, good will to men
F G C
Peace on earth, good will to men
| C | G6 | Fmaj7-6 | Am G | F | Am G | F G | Am G | F | Fmaj7 |
C G6
Then pealed the bells, more loud and deep
Fmaj7-6 Am G
God is not dead, nor doth he sleep
F Am G
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
F G Am G
With peace on earth, good will to men
F G C
Peace on earth, good will to men
C G6
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Fmaj7-6 Am G
Their old familiar carols play
F Am G
Wild and sweet, the words repeat
F G Am G
Of peace on earth, good will to men
F G C
Peace on earth, good will to men
F G Am
Peace on earth, good will to men

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JOHN GORKA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
