Verse:

Dsus2 G6 D (same chords for each line)

They said there'll be snow at Christmas

They said there'll be peace on earth,

But instead it just kept on raining,

A veil of tears for the Virgin birth.

Chorus:

C G D

I remember one Christmas morning,

C G D

The Winter's light and a distant choir,

D A G D

And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell,

D G6 Dsus2

And eyes full of tinsel and fire.

Dsus2 G6 D

They sold me A dream of Christmas,

They sold me A silent night,

They told me A fairy story,

'Til I believed in the Israelite.

Chorus:

C G D

I remember one Christmas morning,

C G D

The Winter's light and a distant choir,

D A G D

And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell,

D G6 Dsus2

And eyes full of tinsel and fire.

Dsus2 G6 D

I wish you A hopeful Christmas,

I wish you A brave New Year,

All anguish, pain and sadness,

Leave your heart and let your road be clear.

Dsus2 G6 D

They said there'd be snow at Christmas,

They said there'd be peace on earth,

D A G6 D

Hallelujah! Noel!, be it Heaven or Hell,

D G6 Dsus2

The Christmas we get, we deserve.
