1.        It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid. 
                  F                            C 
    At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade. 
                Dm         G              C               F 
    And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy, 
                Dm               G                  C 
    throw your arms around the world at Christmas time. 
               F     G                C 
2. But say a prayer,    pray for the other ones, 
                  F         G                      C  
    at Christmas time it's hard, 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             C               F 
    where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears. 
               Dm                  G 
    And the Christmas bells that ring there  
              C                 F 
    are the clanging chimes of doom. 
             Dm                       G              C 
    Well, tonight, thank God, it's them instead of you. 
              F                G             C 
3. 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. (Oooh)   
           F             G        C                F 
    Where nothing ever grows, no rain nor rivers flow,  
     Dm                  G               C   F   C  
    do they know it's Christmas time at all? 
       Am                      G       F 
    (Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone ! 
      Am                    G          F 
    (Here's to them) underneath that burning sun ! 
     Dm                   G               C
