Capo on 3rd Fret


Verse:
C5              A5
 Light a candle
        D5               C5
For the old man who sits staring
      Bb5
Out a frosty window pane
C5              A5
 Light a candle
        D5           C5
For the woman who is lonely
          Bb5
And every Christmas it's the same
        D5           C5
For the children who need
          Bb5
More than presents can bring


Chorus:
D5
 Light a candle
B5
 Light the dark
G5
 Light the world
A5
 Light a heart or two
B5       ( D5 )
 Light a candle for me
G5             ( D5 )    ( A5 ) D5
 I'll light a candle for you 


Verse:
Light a candle 
For the homeless and the hungry 
A little shelter from the cold 
Light a candle 
For the broken and forgotten 
May the season warm their souls 
Can we open our hearts 
To shine through the dark 


Chorus


Bridge:
    F5
And in this special time of year
    C5
May peace on earth surround us here
    A5                               G5
And teach us there's a better way to live 
             B5            E5
Oh, and with every (every) flame that burns
B5              E5
We must somehow learn
     C5                   G5
That love's the greatest gift
     F5
That we could ever give 


Chorus
