C        | G7/D        | C/E        | F        |
Dm       | G           | G

[Verse 1]
C            G7/D        C/E             F
  Tricycles,   bicycles, candy canes and candlelight,
Dm                G/B*    C*        Dm                 G
  tryin' to stay awake all night to catch a glimpse of Santa's reindeer.
C              G7/D             C/E           F
  Mama bakin',   sister makin', angels in the fallin' snow,
Dm                G/B*  C*    Dm                 Gsus4        G*
  now it seems so long ago, I wish they all were here.

[Chorus]
             C        Em            Dm       C
We'd have an old time Christmas, an old time Christmas,
F               G               C           F    G
  just like the ones from yesterday.
               C       Em               Dm     C
We'd leave the world behind us, let the spirit find us,
            F        G                       C     G7/D    C/E    F      F
and have an old time Christmas for old times sake.

[Verse 2]
C                  G7/D             C/E                 F
  Friends singin',   bells ringin', snowman standing in   the yard,
Dm              G/B*      C*    Dm              G
  it's a living Christmas card, captured in our hearts forever.
C                  G7/D                   C/E         F
  Friends scatter,   it won't matter, the magic never melts away,
Dm                G/B*      C*     Dm          Gsus4       G
  it only takes a Christmas Day to make it reappear.

[End-Chorus]
             C        Em            Dm       C
We'd have an old time Christmas, an old time Christmas,
F               G               C           F    G
  just like the ones from yesterday.
               C       Em               Dm     C
We'd leave the world behind us, let the spirit find us,
            F        G                       C       C
and have an old time Christmas for old times   sake.

[Outro]
              Am      Em                F      C
So, leave the world behind you, let the spirit find you,
            Dm       Gsus4     G*              C      G7/D    C/E   F      C*
and have an old time Christmas   for old times   sake.
