   | E      *       *      *
The snow is on the ground.

The family's all in town - it's Christmas. (Melody: E - D# - C# - D#)

The children want to know why we hung the mistletoe - it's Christmas.
   | A     *      *    *    | Eb7  *      *    *
Then silently the night turns on a magic light -
            | G#m      *    *  *    | C#m  *  Am  *
     and it's Christmas all over the world.
    | E          *     *     *      | F#m7   *       B7  *   | E        |

And I hope that Santa Claus remembers every child because it's Christmas.



   | E       *      *    *
The lights upon the tree -
     | C#m      *   *  *    | F#m7   *   *  *  |  B7  *    *    *
make delightful melody - it's Christmas. (Melody: E - D# - C# - D#)
        | F#m       *       *    *       | F#m7     *    B7   *
There's a choir out in the night, singing songs by candlelight -
         | E     *   * * | Bm  *  E7  * |
     it's Christmas.
    | A    *      *  *  |  Eb7    *         *   *
With every face aglow the young & old both know -
        | G#m      *    *   *   | C#m  *  Am  * |
     it's Christmas all over the world.
 E      *       *   * | F#m7     *          B7   *     | E    * * * | B7 *
* * |
Love is flowing free.   All the world's at peace - it's Christmas.

With every face aglow the young & old both know -
