Christmas Time

	  		       C      Em           Am  C
We waited all through the year
     F            G
for the day to appear
   C           E7      Am Am7        G 
when we could be together  in harmony
  C             Em         Am    C
You know the time will come
   F                     G
peace on earth for everyone
 C           E7       Am Am7    Dm                G
and we can live forever   in a world where we are free
 Dm                       G
let it shine for you and me
C                             
There's something about Christmas time
F                                     
something about Christmas time
C                                        G
that makes you wish it was Christmas everyday
       C                                             
To see the joy in the children's eyes
       F
the way that the old folks smile
C                       G            C
says that Christmas will never go away

We're all as one tonight
makes no difference if you're black or white
'cause we can sing together in harmony
I know it's not too late
the world would be a better place
if we can keep the spirit more than one day in the year
send a message loud and clear
Repeat Chorus:
 
          G                                  C
It's the time of year when everyone's together
          G                       C
we'll celebrate here on Christmas day
          Am    
when the ones you love are there
       D7                      G  F  
you can feel the magic in the air 
                  Em       G
you know it's everywhere
 
               C
There's something about Christmas time
F
something about Christmas time
 
(Shift the chords one tone higher:  D)
 
There's something about Christmas time
something about Christmas time
that makes you wish it was Christmas every day
To see the joy in the children's eyes
the way that the old folks smile
says that Christmas will never go away
Repeat chorus
Please tell me Christmas will never go away
