Tom: C5

C5      E5           A5  C5
We waited all through the year
     F5            G5
for the day to appear
   C5           E5      A5 A5        G5 
when we could be together  in harmony
  C5             E5         A5    C5
You know the time will come
   F5                     G5
peace on earth for everyone
 C5           E5       A5 A5    D5                G5
and we can live forever   in a world where we are free
 D5                       G5
let it shine for you and me
C5                             
There's something about Christmas time
F5                                     
something about Christmas time
C5                                        G5
that makes you wish it was Christmas everyday
       C5                                             
To see the joy in the children's eyes
       F5
the way that the old folks smile
C5                       G5            C5
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:
          G5                                  C5
It's the time of year when everyone's together
          G5                       C5
we'll celebrate here on Christmas day
          A5    
when the ones you love are there
       D5                      G5  F5  
you can feel the magic in the air 
                  E5       G5
you know it's everywhere
 

               C5
There's something about Christmas time
F5
something about Christmas time
 
(Shift the chords one tone higher:  
D5 )
 
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
