Do They Know Its Christmas Time At All by Paul Young
Key:DD| Capo:0fr|
DGA
It's Christmas time
D
There's no need to be afraid
GA
At Christmas time
D
We let in light and we banish shade
(Boy George)
GA
And in our world of plenty
DG
We can spread a smile of joy
A
Throw your arms around the world
D
At Christmas time
(George Michael)
GA
But say a prayer
D
Pray for the other ones
GA
At Christmas time it's hard
(Simon LeBon)
D
But when you're having fun
GA
There's a world outside your window
(Sting)
DG
And it's a world of dread and fear
A
Where the only water flowing is
(Bono joins in)
DG
The bitter sting of tears
A
And the Christmas bells that are ringing
DG
Are clanging chimes of doom
AD
(Bono only) Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you.
(Everyone)
GAD
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time.
GAD
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
GA
Where nothing ever grows
DG
No rain or rivers flow
AD
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
DGD
(Paul Young)
Bm
Here's to you
A
raise a glass for everyone
Bm
Here's to them
A
underneath that burning sun
GAD
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
