verse 1:
You can either keep playing the intro tab through the verses
like the piano does, or
and strum using chords in the key of G.
The tab pattern is the same throughout pretty much the whole song. The
chords in parenthesis are in G and the ones not in parenthesis are the
same chords as in the intro.
Gm (Em)
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Eb (C) Bb (G)
Their old familiar carols play
F (D) Gm (Em)
And mild and sweet their songs repeat
Eb (C) Bb (G)
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men
Chorus:
