At Christmas tim[G]e in the stee[D7]ple high[G][C]
The [G]bells would [D7]proudly [G]ring
To [C]tell the world of the [G]joy and cheer
That [A7]Christmas day would [D7]bring
But [C]one little bell in the [G]steeple high
Could [D7]only pain [G]alone and cry
No matter [C]how he'd [G]try and [C]try
[G]Poor little thing [D7]he couldn't ring at [G]all
All the other [D7]bells in the [G]steeple [C]high
Saw [G]all his [D7]lonely [G]tears
And [C]watched him try his [G]best to ring
[A7]Each Christmas through the [D7]years
But [C]the little blue bell in the [G]steeple toll
Just [D7]pride from Christmas [G]came to call
For like I [C]said in [G]spite of [C]all
[G]Poor little thing [D7]he couldn't ring at [G]all
One Christmas [D7]Eve in the [G]steeple [C]high
An [G]angle [D7]did [G]appear
She [C]smiled and said to the [G]little blue bell
[A7]I've come to dry yours [D7]tears
And [C]on that night so the [G]story's told
She [D7]changed the little blue bell to the [G]purest gold
With the richest [C]tone to [G]hold and [C]hold
[G]Proud little thing [D7]just hear him r'in[G]g
The [G]bells would [D7]proudly [G]ring
To [C]tell the world of the [G]joy and cheer
