🎸 Verse 1:
G+G A minorAm
Christmas Eve, a cold and frosty night,
D MajorD G+G
he stands looking down through his window.
G+G A minorAm
And though the street below is filled with light,
D MajorD G+G
his room is filled with shadows.
C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm
It’s never good to be on your own,
C majorC D MajorD
when sad old memories come crowding,
C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm
but the worst time to be alone
A augmentedA D MajorD
is when Christmas stars are shining.
🎸 Chorus:
E minorEm C majorC G+G
This is the time to be with those you love,
C majorC G+G D MajorD
to be with friends and family, to remember Auld Lang Syne,
E minorEm C majorC G+G
if there’s a time to be with those you love,
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
it’s here, it’s now, it’s Christmas time.
G+G A minorAm
In the noisy, busy street below
D MajorD G+G
the Christmas lights in bright profusion,
G+G A minorAm
shine on the people moving to and fro,
D MajorD G+G
in happy colourful confusion.
C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm
To the watcher by the window all this only serves
C majorC D MajorD
to remind him of a loving heart he’d broken,
C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm
his only daughter lost to angry, bitter words,
A augmentedA D MajorD
he wished to God he’d never spoken.
🎸 Chorus:
E minorEm C majorC G+G
This is the time to be with those you love,
C majorC G+G D MajorD
to be with friends and family, to remember Auld Lang Syne,
E minorEm C majorC G+G
if there’s a time to be with those you love,
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
it’s here, it’s now, it’s Christmas time.
G+G A minorAm
He turns to pour himself a single glass
D MajorD G+G
as the midnight hour is chimin’,
G+G A minorAm
a silent toast to a year that’s nearly past
D MajorD G+G
and to dreams of new beginning.
C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm
As if in answer to his unspoken prayer.
C majorC D MajorD
he hears footsteps on the landing
C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm
and in the light from the open doorway there
A augmentedA D MajorD
he sees his daughter standing.
C majorC G+G E minorEm
“I’ve missed you, Dad,” he heard her say
C majorC D MajorD G+G
and it was Christmas Day.
