       It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid.
              F                            C
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade.
            Dm        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.

           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.
           F                  G
There's A world outside your window,
            C                  F
and it's A world of dread and fear,
           Dm          G             C               F
where the only water flowing is 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.

          F                G             C
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time.
      F                    G                C      C7
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life. (Oooh)  
       F             G        C                F
Where nothing ever grows, no rain nor rivers flow, 
 Dm                  G               C - F - C 
do they know it's Christmas time at all?

   Am                      G       F
(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone !
  Am                   G          F
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun !
 Dm                  G               C  
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

 C        F-C    F         C          Dm      G
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time a(gain) !
 C        F-C    F         C          Dm      G
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time a(gain) !
(repeat)
