The Royal Guardsmen


Tom: G

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

G                               D
Was the night before Christmas, 40 below
                       G
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe
                        C
He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought
     D                        G
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

G                    D
The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights
                              G
He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight
                          C
Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know
D                            G
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

G                     D
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
When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my 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
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
