Do They Know Its Christmas

C5

[Verse]
C5             F5    G5         
It's Christmas time,    and 
            C5
there's no need to be afraid
             F5       G5          
At Christmas time, we let in light
     C5
 and we banish shade
           F5            G5        
And in our world of plen-ty we can 
C5                F5
spread a smile of joy
      Dm                   G5     
Throw your arms around the world 
            C5
at Christmas time
          F5      G5
But say a prayer
             C5
Pray for the other ones
             F5        G5
At Christmas time it's hard
                C5
But when you're having fun
          F5                 G5
There's a world outside your window

           C5                 F5
And it's a world of dread and fear
          Dm            G5
Where the only water flowing is
    C5                 F5
The bitter sting of tears
        Dm                       
And the Christmas bells that ring 
G5
there
        C5                 F5
Are the clanging chimes of doom
        Dm                         
Well, tonight thank God it's them  
G            C
  instead of you!
          F                 G     
And there won't be snow in Africa 
           C
this Christmas time
    F                     G       
The greatest gift they'll get this
         C    C7  C
 year is life
      F            G         C   
Where nothing ever grows, no rain
           F
 or rivers flow
Dm                G              
Do they know it's Christmas time 
   C      F    C
at all?

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                     G
Here's to you, raise a glass for 
everyone
Am                      G
   Here's to them, underneath that 
burning sun
F                    G
   Do they know it's Christmas time?

[Chorus]
C        F    C
Feed the wo - rld
Dm                 G
Let them know it's Christmas time
C        F    C
Feed the wo - rld
Dm                 G
Let them know it's Christmas time
C        F    C
Feed the wo - rld
Dm                 G              
Let them know it's Christmas time
