[Verse]

F G C It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid F G C At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade F G C F And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy Dm G C Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

[Verse]

F G C But say a prayer, pray for the other ones F G C At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun

[Bridge] F G There's a world outside your window C F And it's a world of dread and fear Dm G Where the only water flowing is C F The bitter sting of tears Dm G And the Christmas bells that ring there C F Are the clanging chimes of doom Dm G C Well tonight, thank God, it’s them instead of you

[Chorus]

F G C And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime F G C The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (oh-oh-oh) F G Oh, where nothing ever grows C F No rain or rivers flow Dm G | C | F C | Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
