DO FA
Comes the time for Christmas
SOL LAm
And I really have to ask
LAm REm
If this is feeling merry
SOL DO
How much longer must it last?
DO FA
I wish a one horse open sleigh
SOL LAm
Would come carry me away
LAm REm
But I've been waiting here all day
SOL DO
And one just hasn't come my way
DO FA
Now excuse me if I'm not being reverent
SOL LAm
But I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me
LAm REm
Save me from my righteous doubt
SOL DO
as I watch helpless, and everybody sings
DO FA
If it's Chanukah or Kwanza
SOL LAm
Solstice, harvest or December twenty-fifth
LAm REm
Peace on earth to everyone
SOL DO
And abundance to everyone you're with
DO FA
La ha da da da da da
SOL LAm
REa REa REa REa REa REa REa REa REa REa REa
LAm REm
LA REa REa REa REa REa REa REa
SOL DO
LA REa REa REa REa REa REa REa REa

DO FA
Comes the time for Christmas
SOL LAm
And as you raise your Yuletide flask
LAm REm
There's like this feeling that you carry
SOL DO
As if from every Christmas past
DO FA
It's as if each year it grows
SOL LAm
It's like you feel it in your toes
LAm REm
And on and on your carol goes
SOL DO
Harvesting love among your woes
DO FA
I want to buy into the benevolent
SOL LAm
And I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me
LAm REm
Make me know what it's about
SOL DO
As the longing in me makes me want to sing
DO FA
Noel or Navidad
SOL LAm
Season celebration or just the end of the year
LAm REm
Christmas can mean anything
SOL DO
And I mean to keep its hope forever near
Repeat la's....
LAm SOL LAm
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love
DO
By loves own hand
LAm SOL
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth
FA SOL
And good will to man
DO FA
At twenty below the winter storm it billows
SOL LAm SOL
But the fire is so warm inside
LAm REm
And the children while nestled in their pillows
SOL DO
Dream of St. Nicholas's ride
DO FA
And how the next day they'll get up and they will play
SOL LAm SOL
In the still falling Christmas snow
LAm REm
And together we'll celebrate forever
SOL DO SOL
In defiance of the winds that blow
DO FA
My god in heaven now I feel like I'm seven
SOL DO SOL
And the spirit calls to me as well
LAm REm
As if Christmas had made the winter warmer
SOL DO SOL
Made a paradise from what was hell
LAm SOL LAm
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love
DO
By loves own hand
LAm SOL
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth
FA SOL
And good will to man.......
