CHRISTMAS
by Blues Traveller
from "A Very Special Christmas III"

 C majorC          FF
Comes the time for Christmas

    G+G        A minorAm
And I really have to ask

  A minorAm         DmDm
If this is feeling merry

     G+G        C majorC
How much longer must it last'

     C majorC        FF
I wish a one horse open sleigh

      G+G     A minorAm
Would come carry me away

        A minorAm         DmDm
But I've been waiting here all day

       G+G        C majorC
And one just hasn't come my way


   C majorC              FF
Now excuse me if I'm not being reverent

      G+G             A minorAm
But I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me

 A minorAm         DmDm
Save me from my righteous doubt

   G+G           C majorC
As I watch helpless, and everybody sings


     C majorC       FF
If it's Chanukah or Kwanza

 G+G             A minorAm
Solstice, harvest or December twenty-fifth

 A minorAm          DmDm
Peace on earth to everyone

   G+G       C majorC
And abundance to everyone you're with

 C majorC        FF
La ha da da da da da

    G+G          A minorAm
Da da da da da da da da da da da

 A minorAm          DmDm
La da da da da da da da

    G+G          C majorC
La da da da da da da da da

C majorC     Bb69
Laha da da da da
C majorC     Bb69
Laha da da da da

 C majorC          FF
Comes the time for Christmas

      G+G           A minorAm
And as you raise your Yuletide flask

          A minorAm         DmDm
There's like this feeling that you carry

      G+G         C majorC
As if from every Christmas past


     C majorC         FF
It's as if each year it grows

        G+G         A minorAm
It's like you feel it in your toes

   A minorAm        DmDm
And on and on your carol goes

      G+G         C majorC
Harvesting love among your woes


      C majorC         FF
I want to buy into the benevolent

      G+G             A minorAm
And I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me

 A minorAm          DmDm
Make me know what it's about

    G+G        C majorC
As the longing in me makes me want to sing


 C majorC     FF
Noel or Navidad

 G+G            A minorAm
Season celebration or just the end of the year

 A minorAm          DmDm
Christmas can mean anything

    G+G         C majorC
And I mean to keep its hope forever near


Repeat la's....

     A minorAm             G+G     A minorAm
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love

       C majorC
By loves own hand

       A minorAm         G+G
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth

 FF         G+G
And good will to man


      C majorC              FF
At twenty below the winter storm it billows

     G+G         A minorAm     G+G
But the fire is so warm inside

     A minorAm                 DmDm
And the children while nestled in their pillows

     G+G        C majorC
Dream of St. Nicholas's ride


       C majorC                 FF
And how the next day they'll get up and they will play

    G+G             A minorAm   G+G
In the still falling Christmas snow

   A minorAm               DmDm
And together we'll celebrate forever

    G+G             C majorC    G+G
In defiance of the winds that blow


      C majorC              FF
My god in heaven now I feel like I'm seven

     G+G            C majorC   G+G
And the spirit calls to me as well

    A minorAm                DmDm
As if Christmas had made the winter warmer

    G+G            C majorC   G+G
Made a paradise from what was hell


     A minorAm         G+G         A minorAm
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love

       C majorC
By loves own hand

       A minorAm         G+G
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth

 FF         G+G
And good will to man.......
