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.
