Afinação: E A D G B ETecla: ACapotraste: 2nd traste [Intro} |Em |C |G |G | |C |C |G |D | |Em |C |G |G | |Am |C |D | [Verse 1] G Am Christmas Eve, a cold and frosty night, D G he stands looking down through his window. G Am And though the street below is filled with light, D G his room is filled with shadows. C G D Em It’s never good to be on your own, C D when sad old memories come crowding, C G D Em but the worst time to be alone A D is when Christmas stars are shining. [Chorus] Em C G This is the time to be with those you love, C G D to be with friends and family, to remember Auld Lang Syne, Em C G if there’s a time to be with those you love, Am C D it’s here, it’s now, it’s Christmas time. G Am In the noisy, busy street below D G the Christmas lights in bright profusion, G Am shine on the people moving to and fro, D G in happy colourful confusion. C G D Em To the watcher by the window all this only serves C D to remind him of a loving heart he’d broken, C G D Em his only daughter lost to angry, bitter words, A D he wished to God he’d never spoken. [Chorus] Em C G This is the time to be with those you love, C G D to be with friends and family, to remember Auld Lang Syne, Em C G if there’s a time to be with those you love, Am C D it’s here, it’s now, it’s Christmas time. G Am He turns to pour himself a single glass D G as the midnight hour is chimin’, G Am a silent toast to a year that’s nearly past D G and to dreams of new beginning. C G D Em As if in answer to his unspoken prayer. C D he hears footsteps on the landing C G D Em and in the light from the open doorway there A D he sees his daughter standing. C G Em “I’ve missed you, Dad,” he heard her say C D G and it was Christmas Day. |C |D | G|
