Dsus2Dsus2  Dsus2Dsus2  Dsus2Dsus2  Dsus2Dsus2

G+G   D MajorD        E minor 7Em7   D MajorD
 They said there'll be snow at Christmas,
G+G   D MajorD        E minor 7Em7   D MajorD
 They said there'll be peace on earth,
G+G   D MajorD       E minor 7Em7   D MajorD
 But instead it just kept on raining,
G+G     D MajorD       E minor 7Em7  D MajorD
 A augmentedA veil of tears for the Virgin birth.

C majorC  G+G     D MajorD     D MajorD
 I remember one Christmas morning,
  C majorC    G+G      D MajorD    D MajorD
The Winter's light and a distant choir,
    D MajorD     A augmentedA       G+G       D MajorD
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell,
  D MajorD      G6G6     Dsus2Dsus2  D MajorD
And eyes full of tinsel and fire.

G+G   D MajorD    E minor 7Em7   D MajorD
 They sold me a dream of Christmas,
G+G   D MajorD    E minor 7Em7  D MajorD
 They sold me a silent night,
G+G   D MajorD    E minor 7Em7  D MajorD
 They told me a fairy story,
G+G     D MajorD       E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
 'Til I believed in the Israelite.

C majorC    G+G     D MajorD     D MajorD
 And I believed in Father Christmas,
   C majorC       G+G     D MajorD   D MajorD
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes,
    D MajorD      A augmentedA      G+G       D MajorD
Then I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn,
   D MajorD      G6G6       Dsus2Dsus2  D MajorD
And I saw him and through his disguise.

 I wish you a hopeful Christmas,
G+G  D MajorD     E minor 7Em7    D MajorD
 I wish you a brave New Year,
G+G   D MajorD    E minor 7Em7   D MajorD
 All anguish, pain and sadness,
G+G    D MajorD           E minor 7Em7   D MajorD
 Leave your heart and let your road be clear.
