Okay. I never thought I'd learn to play something by any artist that had
anything to do with the name "jonas", but this has to be their only good
song. It's amazing. I've simplified it some because this was originally
written for piano, and some of the chord changes aren't necessary. Yes,
they sound nice, but with how hard I found it, myself being maybe at a low
intermediate level, they aren't really needed and don't change the way the
song sounds much if at all. If you would like the chords for the "more
advanced" version, email me and I'll send it to you when I get the
chance. :]

P.S. I know these chords are accurate because I have the sheet music.

EADGBe, Capo 1st fret

Intro: C(add2), F(add2) [4 beats per chord]

C                            F
Every year at Christmas, all I can see 
    C                              F
Are pictures of the things I want around the tree 
         Dm              C/E
But this year's a little different 
        F           Am
I'm not thinking of myself 
      F                     
So my prayer for this Christmas 
   C/G          G
Is for somebody else 

   Gsus G
So I    pray 
C          G/C
Joy To the World 
Am7             F
Peace for every boy and girl  

C                               F
God I know you're listening and you can hear 
C                                  F
The need of every broken heart and all their tears
        Dm            C/E
I don't have a lot to offer
          F          Am 
Just this one simple prayer 
          F                        
That this Christmas everyone would know 
    C/G  G
Somebody cares... 


   Gsus G
So I    pray 
C          G/C
Joy to the world 
Am7             F
Peace for every boy and girl  
C                 G/B
Hope when life is hard 
Am7             F
Light when everything seems dark 

  Dm7             C/E
I pray that every hungry soul 
        F               C/E
Will be fed and will be warm 
           Dm7        C/E
That not a single solitary child 
      F
Would suffer harm 

Dm7                       C/E
And wars would find their ending 
      F            C/E
As we take another view
Dm7                  C/E 
My hope is that this Christmas prayer 
      F            Gsus G [Gsus, G: 1 beat per chord]
Would somehow come tru--e 



Bb  C/Bb
  I pray
  F      Bb      C/Bb
Humanity   would rise

And togeth-er we'll sing 

Woah, woah
D           A
