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.
