C C City sidewalks busy sidewalks . F Dressed in holiday style G In the air There's a feeling C of Christmas C Children laughing C People passing F Meeting smile after smile G C And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear C F Silver bells silver bells G C It's Christmas time in the city C F Ring a ling hear them sing G C Soon it will be Christmas day C Strings of street lights C Even stop lights F Blink a bright red and green G As the shoppers rush C home with their treasures C Hear the snow crunch C See the kids bunch F This is Santa's big scene G And above all this bustle C You'll hear C F Silver bells, silver bells G C It's Christmas time in the city C F Ring-a-ling, hear them sing G Soon it will be Christmas day
