|  C        |  Em C   Em C    |  C       |  Em C   Em C

 |  C        |  Em C   Em C    |  C       |  Em C   Em C

               |  F     |  G                  |  C                 | 
It's Christmastime, there's no need to be afraid
             |  F        |  G                   |  C               | 
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
            |  F        |  G             |  C                 |  F
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
            |  Dm              |  G                 |  C           | 
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime


           |  F      |  G             |  C                         | 
But say a prayer, Pray for the other ones
             |  F         |  G                     |  C            | 
At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
           |  F                  |  G
There's a world outside your window
            |  C                  |  F
And it's a world of dread and fear
           |  Dm         |  G
Where the only water flowing
        |  C               |  F
Is the bitter sting of tears
         |  Dm                   |  G
And the Christmas bells that ring there
         |  C                  |  F
Are the clanging chimes of doom
        |  Dm                   |  G               |  C            | 
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you


           |  F                |  G           |  C                 | 
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
     |  F                     |  G                |  C     | 
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life, Ohhhh
       |  F            |  G
Where nothing ever grows
    |  C               |  F
No rain nor rivers flow
 |  Dm                |  G                |  C       |  F   C
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?


 |  Am
Here's to you
 |  G
Raise a glass for everyone
 |  Am
Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
 |  G
If the table was turned would you survive
 |  Am
Here's to them
 |  G
Underneath that burning sun
 |  Am
You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless
 |  G
Give a little help to the helpless
 |  F                 |  G               
Do they know it's Christmastime at
 |  C        |  Em C   Em C    |  C       |  Em C   Em C
