Capo 1st fret 

C                        F 
Every year at Christmas, all I can see 
C                                 F 
Are pictures of the things I want around the tree 
Dm                       C 
But this year's a little different 
F                        Am 
I'm not thinking of myself 
F 
So my prayer for this Christmas 
C              G 
Is for somebody else 
Gsus4 G 
So    I pray 
C           G 
Joy To the World 
Am7             F 
Peace for every boy and girl 
C                 G 
Hope when life is hard 
Am7          F 
Light when everything seems dark 
C                               F 
God I know you're listening and you can hear 
C                                   F 
The need of every broken heart and all their tears 
Dm             C 
I don't have a lot to offer 
F              Am 
Just this one simple prayer 
F 
That this Christmas everyone would know 
C            G 
Somebody cares... 
Gsus4 G 
So I pray 
C          G 
Joy to the world 
Am7              F 
Peace for every boy and girl 
C                 G 
Hope when life is hard 
Am7         F 
Light when everything seems dark 
Dm7               C 
I pray that every hungry soul 
F               C 
Will be fed and will be warm 
Dm7         C 
That not a single solitary child 
F 
Would suffer harm 
Dm7 C/E 
And wars would find their ending 
F C/E 
As we take another view 
Dm7                  C 
My hope is that this Christmas prayer 
F    Gsus4       G 
Would somehow come true 
Bb 
I pray 
F        Bb 
Humanity would rise 
G        A 
And join with me 
G          A 
And together we'll sing 
Woah, woah 
D                      A 
Joy To the World To all the world 
Bm7            G 
Peace for every boy and girl 
D            A 
Talking ‘bout hope when life is hard 
Bm7                G 
Light when everything seems dark 
Em7           D 
I pray that every hungry soul 
G          D 
Will be fed and will be warm 
Em7             D 
That not a single solitary child 
G         Bm7 
Would suffer harm 
Em7                  D 
And Lord, we find their ending 
G             D 
As we take another view 
Em7                         D 
So now my hope is that this Christmas prayer 
G              A 
Would somehow come true 
D          A 
Joy To the World 
Bb                      G 
Peace for every boy and girl
