[Verse]
 
     F                    C/E
When Christmas comes this year
            Dm       G        C
There'll be laughter and good cheer
    Dm               
And lots of presents 
G              Em
underneath the tree
               F          C/E
Sometimes it's easy to forget
            Dm      G     Am
A child was born in Bethlehem
    Dm                
The greatest gift the 
G              C
world has ever seen
 
 
[Chorus]
 
              F
There will be brand 

new shiny toys
              C/E
There will be joyful girls and boys
             Dm                  
We'll take a sleigh ride through 
    G              C
the gently falling snow  
               F
But there is a star that shines above
               C/E
To show us the gift is really love
   Dm                       Fm
Reminding us to open up our hearts
      C         G/B   Am    
For a child was born upon a 
G        F
midnight clear
       C        G/B        
Let us pray the world will 
Am       G      Dm
keep his spirit near
     G                    F  C/E Dm G
When Christmas comes this year
 
 
[Verse]

 
     F                    C/E
When Christmas comes this year
       Dm     G            C
If you listen close you'll hear
Dm             G             Em
Voices singing hope for everyone
           F            C/E
Around the fire burning bright
         Dm         G      Am
With our loved ones here tonight
      Dm             
We'll sing a song of 
G              C
joy for He has come
 
 
[Chorus]

 
              F
There will be brand new shiny toys
              C/E
There will be joyful girls and boys
             Dm                 
We'll take a sleigh ride through 
    G              C
the gently falling snow
               F
But there is a star 

that shines above
               C/E
To show us the gift is really love
   Dm                       Fm
Reminding us to open up our hearts
      C         G/B   Am   
For a child was born upon a
 G        F
 midnight clear
       C        G/B        Am       G      Dm
Let us pray the world will keep his spirit near
