Verse:

G                          C
Snow's falling down as you step out of your car
         G                        C
Presents in your arms and you've traveled far
        G                      C
Someone opens the door with a smile on their face
         D          D1      D
And you know you've come to the right place


Prechorus:

       Em             C
Family nestled by the fire
Em              C
Christmas hopes to inspire
Em                 C
Loved ones by your side
                D         D1         D    D1
You know you'll kiss your babies goodnight


Chorus:

      G   C      G   C
At Christmas, Christmas
          D       D1        D         D1
No matter who you are, how far you've come
C
This is is where you belong
      G   C
At Christmas


Verse:

Memories 'round the chrismas tree
Are the sweetest ones that remain with me
It's a comfort deep inside
Though you can't stop the race of time
To know that Christmas will always be

Prechorus:

Family nestled by the faire
A Christmas hope will be inspired
Loved ones by your side
You know you'll kiss your babies goodnight.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

Em                  C
Can't you feel it changin'
                Em
Sense the anticipation
                          C
You can tell we're almost there
E                   C
Precious time we're takin'
               Em
Memories we're makin'
                           D  D1
There's a Christmas in the air

Verse:

This is what Christmas means to me
Being together with your family
And the Wise Men who have followed that star
To where our Baby Jesus lay

Prechorus:

Family nestled all around
Baby Jesus asleep so sound
And his star shined so bright
On that very first holy night

Repeat Chorus and fade out.

There it is, pretty simple, needs to be played
acoustic though.  Enjoy!
