D                            G 
The news had come out in the First World War 
     D                    A 
The bloody Red Baron was flying once more 
     D                      G 
The Allied command ignored all of its men 
    D                   A 
And called on Snoopy to do it again. 

D                               G 
Was the night before Christmas, 40 below 
     D                  A 
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe 
    D                    G 
He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought 
     D                        A 
With ice on his wings Snoopy knew he was caught. 

C         D           G 
Christmas bells those Christmas bells 
C        D        G 
Ring out from the land 
C      D         G      Em 
Asking peace of all the world 
C        D       G 
And good will to man 

D                    G 
The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights 
    D                          A 
He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight 
 D                         G 
Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know 
D                            A 
Or was it the bells from the village below. 

C         D           G 
Christmas bells those Christmas bells 
C         D         G 
Ringing through the land 
C          D       G       Em 
Bringing peace to all the world 
C         D      G 
And good will to man 

D                      G 
The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine 
      D                            A 
And forced him to land behind the enemy lines 
 D                       G 
Snoopy was certain that this was the end 
         D                       A 
When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend" 

D                        G 
The Baron then offered a holiday toast 
    D                  A 
And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host 
     D                          G 
And then with a roar they were both on their way 
     D                      A 
Each knowing they'd meet on some other day. 

C         D            G 
Christmas bells those Christmas bells 
C        D           G 
Ringing through the land 
C        D         G      Em  
Bringing peace to all the world 
C        D       G 
And good will to man 

C         D            G 
Christmas bells those Christmas bells 
C        D           G 
Ringing through the land 
C        D         G      Em  
Bringing peace to all the world 
C        D       G 
And good will to man
