A                                         D 
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style 
    E                 E7          A 
in the air there's a feeling of christmas 
         A                                 D        Bm 
children laughing people passing, meeting smile after smile 
       E            E7            A    (Walkup E F# G#) 
and on every street corner you'll hear

      E         E7        A 
it's christmas time in the city 
A                      D

blink a bright red and green 
       E             E7               A 
as the shoppers rush home with their treasures 
A 
hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch 
         D 
this is santa's big scene 
    E              E7           A 
and above all this bustle you'll hear

it's christmas time in the city 
A                      D
