Standard Tuning
Yeah, another christmas song in april...
Intro:
Cadd9
Verse 1:
Cadd9 Fmaj7 G Cadd9
It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid
Fmaj7 G Cadd9
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
Fmaj7 G
And in our world of plenty
Cadd9 Fmaj7
We can spread a smile of joy
Dm7 G Cadd9
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time
Verse 2:
Fmaj7 G Cadd9 C7
But say a prayer, and pray for the other ones
Fmaj7 G Cadd9
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun
Fmaj7 G
There's a world outside your window
Cadd9 Fmaj7
And it's a world of dread and fear
Dm7 G
And the only water flowing
Cadd9 Fmaj7
Is the bitter sting of tears
Dm7 G
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Cadd9 Fmaj7
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Dm7 G Cadd9
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
Verse 3:
Fmaj7 G Cadd9 C7
There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
Fmaj7 G Cadd9
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Fmaj7 G Cadd9 Fmaj7
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or river flows
Dm7 G
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
