This is Kate Rusby's "Sweet Bells". It is tabbed for the accordion, without listening to 
the track. It may well be wrong, but it sounds good, and I hope it brings you some joy 
this christmas season!
While Cshepherds Gwatched,
Their Cflocks by Fnight,
          C        G         C  F-C  
All seated on the ground,
The Cangel Gof the CLord came Fdown,
         C       G         C  F-C  
And glory shone around.
CHORUS:
Sweet CBells, Sweet FchiCming ChristFmas GBells
Sweet CBells, Sweet FchiCming ChristFmas GBells
     C        G      C        F         C
    G        C  F-C  
They cheer us on our Heavenly way sweet chiming bells.
“Fear Cnot,” said Ghe,
For Cmighty Fdread,
                C          G         C  F-C  
Had seized their troubled minds,
“Glad Ctidings Gof great Cjoy I Fbring,
          C        G        C  F-C  
To you and all mankind”.
CHORUS
“To you in David’s,
Town this day,
Is born of David’s line.
The Savior who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign.”
CHORUS
“All glory be to,
God on high,
And to the earth, the earth be peace,
Goodwill henceforth,
From heaven to men,
Begin and never cease”
CHORUS
Repeat first verse
