Verse 1:
Cadd9          Fmaj7   G                      Cadd9
It's Christmas time,       there's no need to be afraid 
             Fmaj7     G                   Cadd9
At Christmas time,  we let in light and we banish shade 
           Fmaj7    G
And in our world of plenty 
       Cadd9              Fmaj7
We can spread a smile of joy 
           Dm7               G                  Cadd9
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time 

Verse 2:
           Fmaj7   G                  Cadd9     C7
But say a prayer,    and pray for the other ones 
             Fmaj7       G                    Cadd9
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun 
          Fmaj7                G
There's a world outside your window 
           Cadd9                Fmaj7
And it's a world of dread and fear 
        Dm7          G
And the only water flowing 
       Cadd9            Fmaj7
Is the bitter sting of tears 
        Dm7                     G
And the Christmas bells that ring there 
        Cadd9                Fmaj7
Are the clanging chimes of doom 
        Dm7                   G               Cadd9
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

Verse 3:
      Fmaj7                       G              Cadd9   C7
There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
    Fmaj7                 G                Cadd9
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
      Fmaj7        G         Cadd9          Fmaj7
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or river flows
Dm7               G
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Fmaj7             G 
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
