[Verse]

               F    G                   C
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
                        

[Verse]

          F      G             C
But say a prayer, pray for the other ones
             F         G                     C
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun


[Bridge]
          F                  G
There's a world outside your window
           C                  F
And it's a world of dread and fear
          Dm         G
Where the only water flowing is
    C               F
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


[Chorus]

          F                G           C
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
    F                     G                C
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (oh-oh-oh)
          F            G
Oh, where nothing ever grows
   C              F
No rain or rivers flow
Dm                G               |  C  |  F  C  |
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?


[Middle 8]

Am
Here's to you
        G
Raise a glass for everyone
Am
Here's to them
     G
Underneath that burning sun
F                 G5             [ C |
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?


[Interlude]
| C | F C | F C | Dm G |
| C | F C | F C | Dm G |


[Outro]

C        F  C      | F C | Dm G |
Feed the wo-orld
C        F  C      | F C | Dm G |
Feed the wo-orld

C        F  C
Feed the wo-orld
F        C         Dm        G    [ C ]
Let them know it’s Christmas time again

C        F  C
Feed the world
F        C         Dm        G    [ C ]
Let them know it’s Christmas time again

(repeat and fade)
