(C  F  C  F  C  F  G)(x2)

               F     G                  C
It's Christmastime, there's no need to be afraid
             F        G                   C              |
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
            F        G             C                 F
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
            Dm              G                 C          |
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime


           F      G             C                        |
But say a prayer, Pray for the other ones
             F         G                     C           |
At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
           F                  G
There's a world outside your window
            C                  F
And it's a world of dread and fear
           Dm         G
Where the only water flowing
        C               F
Is the bitter sting of tears
         Dm                   G
And the Christmas bells that ring there
         C                  F
Are the clanging chimes of doom
        Dm                   G               C           |
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you


           F                G           C                |
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
     F                     G                C    |
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life, Ohhhh
       F            G
Where nothing ever grows
    C               F
No rain nor rivers flow
 Dm                G                C       F   C
