[Intro]
Em C G B7
 
[Verse 1]
                               Em      C
I heard the bells on Christmas day
                          G      D
Their old familiar carols play
                                  Em      C
And mild and sweet their songs repeat
                                G     B7
Of peace on earth good will to men
 
[Chorus]
                        C     G
And the bells are ringing
                         C      G
Like a choir they're singing
                           C
In my heart I hear them
           Em                D
Peace on earth, good will to men
 
[Verse 2]
N.C.                         Em      C
And in despair I bowed my head
                             G      D
There is no peace on earth I said
                                 Em      C
For hate is strong and mocks the song
                                G     B7
Of peace on earth, good will to men
 
[Chorus]
                           C        G
But the bells are ringing (Peace on earth)
                              C        G
Like a choir singing (Peace on earth)
                          C
Does anybody hear them?  (Peace)
         Em                  D
Peace on earth, good will to men
 
[Verse 3]
C
Then rang the bells more loud and deep
                          Em                  D
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep  (Peace on Earth, Peace on Earth)
C                          D2      C
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
              G                   D
With peace on earth, good will to men
                            Em     C
Then ringing singing on its way
                                 G      D
The world revolved from night to day
                             Em      C
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
                                G     B7
Of peace on earth, good will to men
 
[Chorus]
                               C        G
And the bells they're ringing (Peace on earth)
                              C        G
Like a choir they're singing (Peace on earth)
                                      C
And with our hearts we'll hear them  (Peace)
         Em                  D
Peace on earth, good will to men
                                        C        G
Do you hear the bells they're ringing? (Peace on earth)
                               C        G
The life, the angels singing  (Peace on earth)
                                   C
Open up your heart and hear them  (Peace)
         Em                  D
Peace on earth, good will to men
 
[Outro]
C        G      C         G
Peace on earth, Peace on earth
C        Em                  D
Peace on earth, Good will to men

In the intro, it is not D but B. Also, I think the verses sound a little more like this (only modification is the B at the end) Em C I heard the bells on Christmas day G D Their old familiar carols play Em C And mild and sweet their songs repeat G B Of peace on earth good will to men The rest sounds pretty accurate :)
