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
Silver bells, silver bells,
A Edim E7
It's Christmas time in the city
A D E
Ringaling, hear them ring
A Edim E7
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

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

Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city
