G6               Gmaj7
Out there in the darkness
G6             Gmaj7
Just beyond my reach
G/B           C
Broken little parts of
  Am7       D7
A faded memory
G6             Gmaj7
Three pyjama’d brothers
      G6            Gmaj7
Cross-legged on the floor
G/B           C
Arguing which of us wanted

Christmas to come more

    Dm                   A7/D
The playroom door swings open
Dm              A7/D
In come Mum and Dad
     Cm              D7/C
They sit down on the sofa
  Ebdim           Em
I get up on Mum’s lap

We’re flying down to London town

And I saw all the pretty lights shining
            D              G/B        Em
I looked at all the pretty lights out there
             A7            A7/G
I thought of all the other kids
    D/F#    G        Em    Asus4   A7
And if they felt the way I did
            D              G/B   Em7      A7
And I could feel my little heart beating
        D7                G       G/F# E7
So many questions running through my   mind
            D/F#            F#aug
As I looked at those pretty lights shining

The family in the Big Smoke
G6            Gmaj7
Snow and taxi cabs
G/B             C
Was there snow? I don’t know
     Am7               D7
It’s all mixed up with Peter Pan
   G6              Gmaj7
Oh battleships and waxworks
G6            Gmaj7
Pantomimes, museums
    G/B        C
And finally on Regent Street
    A7/C#           A        A7
The toy shop of my dreams!

Dm        A7/D
Everybody grows up
Dm                    A7/D
Things can’t stay the same
Cm                 D7
What I’d give just to relive
  Ebdim       Em
A single hour again
G6/F             G/F
Childhood’s lost forever now
    C/E G/D  C   G/B  A7
But childish joy re - mains

Check out the faces on the kids

They’re feeling the way you once did

And I can feel my aged heart beating
    D7         G          G/F# E7
The terror and excitement intertwine
            D/F#            F#aug  G       Abdim
When I look at those pretty lights shining
          Em/A          A7
I’m cross-legged on the floor
             D6   D   D6   D
At Christmas time
