Intro 1
(C major)
Verse 1
Hear the (C major) sledges with the bells
Silver bells
What a world of merriment
Their (B flat major) melody (C major) foretells
How they tinkle, (B flat major) tinkle, (G major) tinkle
In the icy (B flat major) air of night (G major)
All the (B flat major) heavens seem to twinkle (G major)
With a crystalline delight
Keeping (C major) time, time, time
With a sort of Runic rhyme (G major)
From the tin (C major) tinnabulation
That so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells,
bells, bells, (F major) bells, (C major) bells
From the jingling (F major) and the tink
(C major) ling of the bells

Verse 2
(C major)
Hear the mellow wedding bells
Golden bells
What a world of happiness
Their harmony foretells
Through the balmy (B flat major) air of (G major) night
How they (B flat major) ring out their delight
(G major) Through the dances (B flat major) and the yells (G major)
And the (B flat major) rapture that im (G major) pels
How it (C major) swells
How it dwells
(A minor) On the fu (C major) ture
How it tell (G major) s
From the swinging (C major) and the ringing
of the molten golden bells
Of the bells, bells, bells,
bells, bells, (F major) bells, (C major) bells
Of the rhym (F major) ing and
the chiming (C major) of the bells
Verse 3
(C major)
Hear the loud alarum bells
Brazen bells
What a tale of terror now
Their turbulency tells
Much too (B flat major) horrified (G major) to speak
Oh, (B flat major) they can only shriek (G major)
For all the ears to know
How the danger (B flat major) ebbs and (G major) flows
Leaping (C major) higher, higher, higher
With a desperate desire (G major)
In a clamorous (C major) appealing to
the mer (B flat major) cy of the (C major) fire
With the bells, bells, bells,
bells, bells, bells, bells
With the clamor an (F major) d
the clanging (C major) of the bells
Verse 4
(C major)
Hear the tolling of the bells
Iron bells
What a world of solemn thought
their monody compels
For all the sound that (G major) floats
From the rust (B flat major) within our throat (G major) s
And the (B flat major) people sit and (G major) groan
In their (B flat major) muffled monotone (G major)
And the tolling, (C major) tolling, (A minor) tolling
Feels a glory (C major) in the rolling (G major)
From the throbbing (C major) and the sobbing
Of the mel (B flat major) ancholy (C major) bells
Oh, the bells, (F major) bells, (C major) bells,
bells, bells, (F major) bells, (C major) bells
Oh, the moaning (F major) and the groan (G major)
ing (C major) of the bells.
Verse 5
(C major)
Hear the sledges with the bells
Silver bells
What a world of merriment
Their (B flat major) melody (C major) foretells
How they (B flat major) tinkle, (C major) tinkle, (G major) tinkle
In the icy air of night
All the heavens seem to twinkle
With a crys (G minor) talline (G major) delight
Keeping (C major) time, time, time
With a sort of Runic rhyme (G major)
From the tin (C major) tinnabulation
That so musically wells
From the bells, (C major) bells, bells,
(C major) bells, bells, bells, bells
From the jingling and
the tinkling of the bell (C major) s
