A                     A7                    D 
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style 
        E             E7          A          Edim  E7 
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas 
          A               A7                D    
Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile 
        E7                          A   Edim   E7 
And on every street corner you'll hear 
 A             D             E                          A   Edim  E7 
Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city 
A             D                E                         A   Edim   E7 
Ringaling, hear them ring  soon it will be Christmas day 
A                     A7                    D 
Strings of street lights, even stop lights,  twinkle bright red and green 
        E             E7          A          Edim    E7 
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures 
                   A               A7                D    
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, this is Santa's big scene 
        E7                          A   Edim E7 
And above all this bustle you'll hear 
A             D             E                          A   Edim  E7 
Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city 
A             D                E                         A   Edim   E7 
Ringaling, hear them ring  soon it will be Christmas day 
A             D             E                          A   Edim  E7 
Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city 
A             D                E                          
Ringaling, hear them ring  
E            E7           F#m    F#m7 
Soon it will be Christmas day 
E            E7            A 
Soon it will be Christmas day
