G6/D D                G6/D    D
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth,
But instead it just kept on raining,
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth.

C  G           D
I remember one Christmas morning,
C            G           D
The Winter's light and a distant choir,
         D        A             G              D
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell,
    D            G6         D    Dsus2
And eyes full of tinsel and fire.

(same chords for each line)
G6/D D         G6/D     D
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night,
They told me a fairy story,
'Til I believed in the Israelite.

C     G           D
And I believed in Father Christmas,
      C             G          D
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes,
       D           A           G              D
Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn,
      D           G6              D    Dsus2
And I saw him and through his disguise.

(same chords for each line)
G6/D D       G6/D    D
I wish you a hopeful Christmas,
I wish you a brave New Year,
All anguish, pain and sadness,
Leave your heart and let your road be clear.

C    G               D
They said there'd be snow at Christmas,
C    G               D
They said there'd be peace on earth,
D            A           G        D
Hallelujah! Noel!, be it Heaven or Hell,
     D           G6/D      D     Dsus2
The Christmas we get, we deserve.


Lead riff goes something like:
