[Verse 1]
               G     A
It's Christmas time
                       D
And there's no need to be afraid
             G
At Christmas time
   A                   D
We let in light and we banish shade


[Verse 2]
           G            A
And in our world of plenty
       D                 G
We can spread a smile of joy
           Em              A
Spread our arms around the world
             D
At Christmas time


[Verse 3]
          G        A
But say a prayer
                D
To pray for the other ones
             G
At Christmas time
     A                    D
It's hard but when you're having fun


[Verse 4]
          G                     A
There's a world outside your window
           D                  G
And it's a world of dread and fear
          Em           A
Where the only water's flowing
       D               G
Is the bitter sting of tears


[Verse 5]
        Em                   A
And the Christmas bells that ring there
        D                  G
Are the clanging chimes of doom
       Em                    A
Well tonight, thank God it's them
           D
Instead of you


[Verse 6]
          G                A                 D
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
    G                     A                D
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
                G            A
Oh-oh-oh, where nothing ever grows
   D               G
No rain nor rivers flow
Em                A                 D     G D
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?


[Bridge]
 Bm                     A
(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
 Bm                   A
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
G       D         Em        A       D
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
