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

               F     G            
2. But say a prayer,    pray for 
    C
the other ones,
                  F         G

                 C
but when you're having fun.
               F

               Dm           G     
    where the only water flowing 
        C               F
is the bitter sting of tears.
               Dm               
    And the Christmas bells that 
   G
ring there
              C                 F
    are the clanging chimes of doom.
             Dm                    
    Well, tonight, thank God, it's 
   G              C
them instead of you.

    Where nothing ever grows, no 
   C                F
rain nor rivers flow,
     Dm                  G
