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

[Vamp - Drums in]
[C]
 
[Verse]
But say a [F] prayer, [G] pray for the 
[C] other ones
At Christmas [F] time it's [G] hard, but 
when you're [C] having fun
 
[Bridge]
There's a [F] world outside your [G] window
And it's a [C] world of dread and [F] fear
Where the [Dm] only water [G] flowing is
The [C] bitter sting of [F] tears
And the [Dm] Christmas bells that [G] ring there
Are the [C] clanging chimes of [F] doom
Well to [Dm] night, thank God, it's 
[G] them instead of [C] you
 
[Chorus] 
And there [F] won't be snow in 
[G] Africa this [C] Christmastime
The [F] greatest gift they'll 
[G] get this year is [C] life (oh-oh-oh)
Oh, where [F] nothing ever [G] grows
No [C] rain or rivers [F] flow
[Dm] Do they know it's [G] 
Christmastime at all

[Quick keyboard riff]
[C][C][F][C]
 
[Middle 8 - Just bass drum] 
[Am] Here's to you
Raise a [G] glass for everyone
[Am] Here's to them
Under [G] neath that burning sun
[F] Do they know it's 
[G5] Christmastime at [C] all?
