[Verse]
C5It's Christmas F5time, G5 and there's no need C5to be afraid
At Christmas F5time, we G5let in light and C5we banish shade
And in our F5world of plen-G5ty we can C5spread a smile of F5joy
Throw Dmyour arms around the G5world at Christmas C5time
But say a F5prayer G5
Pray for the C5other ones
At Christmas F5time it's G5hard
But when you're C5having fun
There's a F5world outside your G5window
And it's a C5world of dread and F5fear
Where the Dmonly water floG5wing is
The C5bitter sting of teaF5rs
And the DmChristmas bells that ringG5 there
Are the C5clanging chimes of F5doom
Well, toDmnight thank God it's them G instead of Cyou!
And there Fwon't be snow in AGfrica this ChristCmas time
The Fgreatest gift they'll Gget this year is Clife C7 C
Where Fnothing ever Ggrows, no Crain or rivers Fflow
DmDo they know it's GChristmas time at Call? F C
[Pre-Chorus]
AmHere's to you, raise a Gglass for everyone
Am Here's to them, underGneath that burning sun
F Do they know it's GChristmas time?
[Chorus]
CFeed the Fwo - Crld
DmLet them know it's GChristmas time
CFeed the Fwo - Crld
DmLet them know it's GChristmas time
CFeed the Fwo - Crld
DmLet them know it's GChristmas time aCgain
