 D                  A7                  Bm        A7 
Dancing lights on Christmas night like sparks upon the water

Voices drift from carol ships passing in the bay 
 D                  A7 
Hear them signing praises ringing 
  Bm              A7 
Faces toward the heavens 
  G                    D 
And hear the bells oh silver

it’s christmas on the coast
