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

 C                    F
Comes the time for Christmas

       G                Am
And I really have to ask

    Am                 Dm
If this is feeling merry

          G                C
How much longer must it last'

          C                F
I wish a one horse open sleigh

            G          Am
Would come carry me away

               Am                  Dm
But I've been waiting here all day

              G                C
And one just hasn't come my way


     C                            F
Now excuse me if I'm not being reverent

           G                         Am
But I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me

 Am                 Dm
Save me from my righteous doubt

      G                     C
As I watch helpless, and everybody sings


         C             F
If it's Chanukah or Kwanza

 G                         Am
Solstice, harvest or December twenty-fifth

 Am                   Dm
Peace on earth to everyone

     G              C
And abundance to everyone you're with


 C               F
La ha da da da da da

       G                   Am
Da da da da da da da da da da da

 Am                   Dm
La da da da da da da da

       G                   C
La da da da da da da da da

C          Bb69

C          Bb69

 C                    F
Comes the time for Christmas

            G                     Am
And as you raise your Yuletide flask

                   Am                  Dm
There's like this feeling that you carry

            G                 C
As if from every Christmas past


         C                 F
It's as if each year it grows

               G                 Am
It's like you feel it in your toes

     Am                Dm
And on and on your carol goes

            G                 C
Harvesting love among your woes


           C                  F
I want to buy into the benevolent

           G                         Am
And I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me

 Am                   Dm
Make me know what it's about

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


 C         F
Noel or Navidad

 G                       Am
Season celebration or just the end of the year

 Am                    Dm
Christmas can mean anything

       G                  C
And I mean to keep its hope forever near



Repeat la's....

         Am                         G         Am
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love

              C
By loves own hand

             Am                 G
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth

 F                  G
And good will to man


           C                           F
At twenty below the winter storm it billows

         G                 Am         G
But the fire is so warm inside

         Am                                 Dm
And the children while nestled in their pillows

          G                C
Dream of St. Nicholas's ride


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

        G                         Am      G
In the still falling Christmas snow

     Am                             Dm
And together we'll celebrate forever

       G                         C       G
In defiance of the winds that blow


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

         G                       C      G
And the spirit calls to me as well

       Am                               Dm
As if Christmas had made the winter warmer

        G                        C      G
Made a paradise from what was hell


         Am                 G                 Am
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love

              C
By loves own hand

             Am                 G
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth

 F                  G
And good will to man.......
