Christmas Bells (Snoopy's Christmas)         - Royal Guardsmen
====================================

    F                        C
The news had came out in the First World War
                         F
The bloody Red Baron was flying once more
                           Bb
The Allied Command ignored all of its men
    C                   F
And called on Snoopy to do it again

        F                       C
Was the night before Christmas, forty below
                       F
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe
                           Bb
He spied the Red Baron and fiercely they fought
     C                        F                 (run: F - G - A)
With ice on his wings, Snoopy knew he was caught


Bb        C           F
Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Bb       C        F                    *********************

And good will to man

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


B         C#          F#
Christmas bells those Christmas bells

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


G#                       D#
The Baron then offered a holiday toast
                      G#
And Snoopy our hero saluted his host
                               C#  
And then with a roar they were both on their way
     D#                     G#              (run:G# - A# - C)
Each knowing they'd meet on some other day

===============
If you capo at 3, the keys feel like D, D#, E and F, which is
almost do-able with fist position bar and open chords.
ie: F -> D   Bb -> G   C -> A
    F# -> D# (x98676)  B -> G# (799877)   C# -> Bb (x133311)
    G -> E   C -> A    D -> B (x244422)
    G# -> F  C# -> Bb (x133311)  D# -> C 

                 ...clear as mud, eh?  Well, Merry Christmas anyway!
