C              F
It's Christmas time
C
There's no need to be afraid
F
At Christmas time
G
We let in light
C
And we banish shade
Dm       G
And in our world of plenty
C                 F
We can spread a smile of joy
Dm               G
Throw your arms around the world
C
At Christmas time


F
But say a prayer
G            C
To pray for the other ones
F         G
At Christmas time it's hard
C
But when you're having fun
F                  G
There's a world outside your window
C                  F
And it's a world of dread and fear
Dm         G
Where the only water flowing
C               F
Is the bitter sting of tears
Dm                   G
And the Christmas bells that ring there
C                  F
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Dm
Well tonight thank God
G               C      C7
It's them instead of you


F                G           C                C7
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
F                     G                C            C7
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
F            G         C             F
Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or river flows
Dm                G                 C        F    C
