1.        It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid.  
                        F              G                         C  
    At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade.  
                F             G                        C               F  
    And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy,  
                   Dm                        G                         C  
    throw your arms around the world at Christmas time.  
                       F     G                      C  
2. But say a prayer,    pray for the other ones,  
                         F         G                               C   
    at Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun.  
                     F                         G  
    There's a world outside your window,  
                C                              F  
    and it's a world of dread and fear,  
                     Dm           G                   C                    F  
    where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears.  
               Dm                             G  
    And the Christmas bells that ring there   
                 C                           F  
    are the clanging chimes of doom.  
             Dm                            G                         C  
    Well, tonight, thank God, it's them instead of you.  
                   F                       G                C  
3. And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time.  
          F                           G                      C      
    The greatest gift they'll get this year is life. (Oooh)    
              F                  G               C                      F  
    Where nothing ever grows, no rain nor rivers flow,   
     Dm                   G                            C       C  F  C
