CAPO: 5th Fret
Intro: C/G
I can remember back when we were small
F C/G Dm7 G
We would start counting the days 'til it all
C/G
Would begin once again, the most magic of times
F C/G F ~ ~ C/G
That started us dreaming of wonders we'd find
Then down from the attic, our father would bring
F C/G Dm7 G
Boxes of ornaments, tinsel and things
C/G
Like old family treasures, a wreath for the door
F C/G F ~ ~ C/G
It was almost like we'd never seen them before
Chorus:
It's Christmas
We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
G
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
G C/G F C/G Dm G
It's Christmas
C/G
With each passing day, the excitement would rise
F C/G Dm7 G
When no one was looking, my brother and I
C/G
Would peek at the presents, wrapped so prettily
F C/G F ~ ~ C/G
And carefully put them back under the tree
When Christmas Eve came, we could finally say
F C/G Dm7 G
That morning would only be one sleep away
C/G
We were so excited by what lay ahead
F C/G F ~ ~ C/G
That Timmy and I would go straight off to bed
Chorus:
It's Christmas
We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
G
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
G C/G F C/G Dm G
It's Christmas
C/G
Then we'd get up early and run down the hall
F C/G Dm7 G
To wake up our parents, and then we would all
C/G
Still in our pyjamas, pass the gifts out
F C/G F ~ ~ C/G
While wrappings and ribbons were thrown all about
Chorus:
It's Christmas
We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
G
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
G C/G
It's Christmas
Chorus:
It's Christmas
We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
G
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
G C/G F C/G Dm G
It's Christmas
Chorus:
C/G
It's Christmas
We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
G
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
G C/G
It's Christmas
