CHRISTMAS
by Blues Traveller
from "A Very Special Christmas III"

 C          F
Comes the time for Christmas

    G        Am
And I really have to ask

  Am         Dm
If this is feeling merry

     G        C
How much longer must it last'


     C        F
I wish a one horse open sleigh

      G     Am
Would come carry me away

        Am         Dm
But I've been waiting here all day

       G        C
And one just hasn't come my way


   C              F
Now excuse me if I'm not being reverent

      G             Am
But I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me

 Am         Dm
Save me from my righteous doubt

   G           C
As I watch helpless, and everybody sings


     C       F
If it's Chanukah or Kwanza

 G             Am
Solstice, harvest or December twenty-fifth

 Am          Dm
Peace on earth to everyone

   G       C
And abundance to everyone you're with


 C        F
La ha da da da da da

    G          Am
Da da da da da da da da da da da

 Am          Dm
La da da da da da da da

    G          C
La da da da da da da da da

C     Bb69
Laha da da da da
C     Bb69
Laha da da da da

 C          F
Comes the time for Christmas

      G           Am
And as you raise your Yuletide flask

          Am         Dm
There's like this feeling that you carry

      G         C
As if from every Christmas past


     C         F
It's as if each year it grows

        G         Am
It's like you feel it in your toes

   Am        Dm
And on and on your carol goes

      G         C
Harvesting love among your woes


      C         F
I want to buy into the benevolent

      G             Am
And I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me

 Am          Dm
Make me know what it's about

    G        C
As the longing in me makes me want to sing


 C     F
Noel or Navidad

 G            Am
Season celebration or just the end of the year

 Am          Dm
Christmas can mean anything

    G         C
And I mean to keep its hope forever near



Repeat la's....

     Am             G     Am
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love

       C
By loves own hand

       Am         G
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth

 F         G
And good will to man


      C              F
At twenty below the winter storm it billows

     G         Am     G
But the fire is so warm inside

     Am                 Dm
And the children while nestled in their pillows

     G        C
Dream of St. Nicholas's ride


       C                 F
And how the next day they'll get up and they will play

    G             Am   G
In the still falling Christmas snow

   Am               Dm
And together we'll celebrate forever

    G             C    G
In defiance of the winds that blow


      C              F
My god in heaven now I feel like I'm seven

     G            C   G
And the spirit calls to me as well

    Am                Dm
As if Christmas had made the winter warmer

    G            C   G
Made a paradise from what was hell


     Am         G         Am
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love

       C
By loves own hand

       Am         G
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth

 F         G
And good will to man.......
