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