  			        A                                   
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks   
                  D  
Dressed in holiday style,  
          E                E7           A         Edim    E7  
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas.  
      A                               A7   
Children laughing,  people passing, 
               D     
meeting smile after smile,  
             E              E7                A   Edim   E7  
And on every street corner you'll hear:  
 
 A                 D             E    
Silver bells, silver bells,  
                      E7            A    Edim  E7  
It's Christmas time in the city.  
A                 D                       E     
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring.    
                  E7                A   Edim   E7  
Soon it will be Christmas day.   
  
A                                           A7        
Strings of street lights, even stoplights  
            D  
blink a bright red and green  
           E                    E7                     A         Edim    E7  
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures,  
               A                            A7   
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch,   
             D     
This is Santa's big scene  
         E                 E7               A   Edim   E7  
And above all this bustle you'll hear:  
  
(Chorus twice)
