verse 1
    Em        C
It was on the stroke of midnight
    Em       C
On the final Christmas Eve
Em     C
People all around were saying
 Em      C
"What do you believe?"
Em           C
Streets were laid with burnished gold
Em       C
Statues made of chrome
  Em        C
Up spoke the wicked messenger
    Em      C
"You're welcome to my home"

G             Am
Everything's going to be alright
Em             C

verse 2
   Em       C
Then tempers started flaring
    Em      C
As the heat began to rise
Em         C
Fields of corn and rapeseed
     Em        C
Turned to dust before their eyes
Em       C
People started blaming
  Em        C
The changing weather map
  Em       C
The chrome began to tarnish
  Em        C
The gold was sold for scrap


G             Am
Everything's going to be alright
Em             C
Everything's going to be alright

Everything's going to be alright

   Em       C
Then just before the end of time
  Em      C
The sun began to dim
Em      C
People of the world began
  Em      C
To sing a common hymn
  Em        C
The Muslim kissed the Hindu
  Em        C
The Hindu kissed the Jew
  Em         C
The Jew kissed all the Buddhists
    Em          C
And the Christians joined the queue


G             Am
Everything's going to be alright
Em             C
Everything's going to be alright
