Melanie - It's Christmas







CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: C/G


I can remember back when we were small
F       C/G     Dm7     G
We would start counting the days 'til it all
    C/G
Would begin once again, the most magic of times
   F     C/G     F ~  ~  C/G
That started us dreaming of wonders we'd find

Then down from the attic, our father would bring
F    C/G    Dm7    G
Boxes of ornaments, tinsel and things
   C/G
Like old family treasures, a wreath for the door
    F      C/G    F  ~  ~ C/G
It was almost like we'd never seen them before


CHORUS:

It's Christmas

We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
           G
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
     G C/G F C/G Dm G
It's Christmas


   C/G
With each passing day, the excitement would rise
   F     C/G     Dm7     G
When no one was looking, my brother and I
   C/G
Would peek at the presents, wrapped so prettily
  F     C/G      F ~  ~  C/G
And carefully put them back under the tree



When Christmas Eve came, we could finally say
   F       C/G   Dm7    G
That morning would only be one sleep away
   C/G
We were so excited by what lay ahead
   F     C/G    F    ~  ~ C/G
That Timmy and I would go straight off to bed


CHORUS:

It's Christmas

We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
           G
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
     G C/G F C/G Dm G
It's Christmas


   C/G
Then we'd get up early and run down the hall
  F      C/G     Dm7      G
To wake up our parents, and then we would all
   C/G
Still in our pyjamas, pass the gifts out
   F       C/G     F   ~  ~ C/G
While wrappings and ribbons were thrown all about


CHORUS:

It's Christmas

We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
           G
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
     G C/G
It's Christmas


CHORUS:

It's Christmas

We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
           G
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
     G C/G F C/G Dm G
It's Christmas


CHORUS:
   C/G
It's Christmas

We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
           G
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
     G C/G
