CAPO: 2nd Fret
G C
And now the carols have been sung
F C
The presents passed from hand to hand, the wrappings all undone
G F C
The children play like children everywhere, they just want to live
D G7 G7sus4
But it's not what we have, it's what we give
C B G7 C
Christmas time reminds us, another year has come and gone
Dm
And now we must carry on
Chorus:
Bb F C
This we know, all things are connected
Bb F C
And the stars that shine on me, are the stars that shine on you
Bb F C
Millions of stars, millions of stars, one earth
G C
Some are rich, while some live in misery
F C
And so we light the candles and raise the Christmas tree
G F C
The mountains sleep beneath the silent snow, the sun shines on the shore
D G7 G7sus4
The earth is with us still, a time of hope once more
C B G7 C
We wish you all a merry Christmastide
Dm
And it's peace that we must find
Chorus:
Bb F C
This we know, all things are connected
Bb F C
And the stars that shine on me, are the stars that shine on you
Bb F C
Millions of stars, millions of stars, one earth
G C
Let go of fear and lay down the gun
F C
If for just this Christmas night, let the world know it is one
G F C
We all are different in so many ways, but we are the same
D C G7 G7sus4
Children of the sun, keepers of the wind and rain
C B G7 C
Someone has to be the first to say, "No more walls"
Dm
Or life on earth will fail
Chorus:
Bb F C
This we know, all things are connected
Bb F C
And the stars that shine on me, are the stars that shine on you
Bb F C
Millions of stars, millions of stars, one earth
