Silver Bells chords by Jay Livingston

Silver Bells chords
Jay Livingston and Ray Evans 1950

   C     Am  Em
City sidewalk, busy sidewalks
C     F
dressed in holiday style.
    G7
In the air there's
       C    G
a feeling of Christmas.
F    C     Am   Em
Children laughing, people passing,
C    F
meeting smile after smile,
    G7             C  G
And on every street corner you'll hear:

C       F
Silver bells, silver bells,
G     D7 G7     C  G7
it's Christmas time in the city.
C      F
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
G    D7  G7      C
soon it will be Christmas day.

   C
City street lights,
Am  Em
even stop lights,
C    F
blink a bright red and green
    G7
As the shoppers rush home
      C     G
with their treasures.
C
Hear the snow crunch,
Am   Em
see the kids bunch,
C    F
this is Santa's big scene
     G7           C   G
And above all this bustle you'll hear:

C       F
Silver bells, silver bells,
G     D7 G7     C  G7
it's Christmas time in the city.
C      F
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
G    D7  G7      C
soon it will be Christmas day.
