[Verse 1]
E E
I'm wishing on a star and trying to believe
E E
That even though it's far, he'll find me Christmas Eve
F#m B E A E
I guess that Santa's busy, 'cause he never comes around
F#m B E
I think of him when Christmas comes to town
[Verse 2]
E E
The best time of the year, when everyone comes home
E E
With all this Christmas cheer it's hard to be alone
F#m B E A E
Putting up the Christmas tree with friends who come around
F#m B Esus E
It's so much fun when Christmas comes to town
[Chorus]
C D Bm Em
Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
C D Bm Em
All the things I've heard about but never really seen
C D Em
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Gm Bsus B
Hoping Santa's on his way
[Instrumental]

E E
When Santa's sleigh bells ring, I listen all around
E E
The herald angels sing, I never hear a sound
F#m B E A E
And all the dreams of children, once lost, will all be found
F#m A B C#m F#
That's all I want when Christmas comes to town
F#m B E
That's all I want when Christmas comes to town
[Outro]

La la la...
