Christmas time is here

Come and celebrate the best time of the year
     D#m
The jingle bells are ringing
         F#                           C#               [ch]F#/G#[/ch]
And the carolers are singing their Christmas songs

Christmas time has come

Can you hear the little drummer boy playing his drum?                        
     D#m                             F#                  C#
And everywhere you go, somebody's wishing you a Merry Christmas
    F#
And Mr. Cole is singing his chestnuts song
          Fm     
While we decorate the Christmas tree
     A#m                       D#                                            
And I'm still dreaming that a snowy white Christmas
  F#                        [ch]F#/G#[/ch]
Just might make it down to Tennessee



C#
And it's Christmas time again

Time to gather with your family and your friends
     D#m                 [ch]F#/G#[/ch]
And thank God for His gift of Love
       C#

And Grandma's baking her pumpkin pie

And her world famous casserole
    A#m                            D#
The kids are playing games on the living room floor
          G#                            [ch]F#/G[/ch]/#
And I'm waiting for my baby with some mistletoe
