[Verse 1]
D                    Em             
The days are getting shorter and colder,
F#m             G
And everyone's another year older,
        D                 Em
Got the gifts beneath the Christmas tree,
    F#m                    G
And booked my coach to see my family.


[Verse 2]
D                     Em             
Spent all my money on beer and toys,
F#m                       G
Going to the pub to catch up with my boys,
          D                        Em
There's a smile on every face as I wander through town,
       F#m               G
It's a mystery to me how people can frown.


[Chorus]
     D                D7
'Cus Christmas is the best time of year,
     G                  Gm
When all the folks here together can cheer,
         D                          D7
That the girls and the boys as they nod off to sleep,
    G                        Gm
Are dreaming of toys and how tomorrow will keep,
     A7
It's promise of being a great day,
G7 (let ring)
    Lets hope things stay this way!

[Verse 3]
         D                           Em             
Twas the night before Christmas when I heard a shout,
     F#m                         G
Twas good ol' Saint Nick saying "Can you help me out?",
  D                            Em
I rushed to his sled and said "What can I do?",
          F#m                                 G
He cried "People don't believe in me - they believe in you!"


[Bridge]
Em                            F#m 
He said "Go write them a song,
Em                            F#m 
Let them know they're wrong,
Em                   F#m 
I'm still here and I need them to know,
G                   A
That this Christmas there'll be snow!"


[Chorus]
     D                D7
'Cus Christmas is the best time of year,
     G                    Gm
When all the folks here together can cheer,
         D                          D7
That the girls and the boys as they nod off to sleep,
    G                          Gm
Are dreaming of toys and how tomorrow will keep-


[Repeat Chorus]
     D                D7
'Cus Christmas is the best time of year,
     G                  Gm
When all the folks here together can cheer,
         D                          D7
That the girls and the boys as they nod off to sleep,
    G                          Gm
Are dreaming of toys and how tomorrow will keep,
     A7
It's promise of being a great day,
G7 (let ring)
    Lets hope things stay this way!
