G C G It's Christmas time the chapel bells are ringing D7 The valley and the hills are filled with song G C G A time for peace while all the world is singing D7 G How I wish it could be Christmas all year long C G It's Christmas time when strangers smiles at strangers D7 A time of hope a time to right a wrong G C G It's time to thank the baby in the manger D7 G How I wish it could be Christmas all year long D7 C G Peace on earth good will to men seems a simply thing A7 D7 But when Christmas ends it passes like a dream G C G It's Christmas time we put away our sorrow D7 A time for joy for happiness and song G C G We give thanks today but who thinks of tomorrow D7 G How I wish it could be Christmas all year long
