Someday At Christmas by Stevie Wonder
Someday At Christmas
C Cmaj7
Someday at Christmas men won't be boys
C7 F
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
F C
One warm December our hearts will see
D7 G
A world where men are free.
C Cmaj7
Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
C7 F
When we have learned what Christmas is for
F C
When we have found what life's really worth
D7 G
There'll be peace on earth.
C Cmaj7
Someday all our dreams will come to be
C7 F
Someday in a world where men are free
F C
Maybe not in time for you and me
D7 G
But someday at Christmas time.
C Cmaj7
Someday at Christmas we'll see a land
C7 F
With no hungry children, no empty hand
F C
One happy morning people will share
D7 G
Our world where people care.
C Cmaj7
Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
C7 F
All men are equal and no men have fears
F C
One shining moment, one prayer away
D7 G
From our world today.
C Cmaj7
Someday all our dreams will come to be
C7 F
Someday in a world where men are free
F C
Maybe not in time for you and me
D7 G
But someday at Christmas time.
C Cmaj7
Someday at Christmas man will not fail
C7 F
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
F C
Someday a new world that we can start
D7 G
With hope in every heart.
C Cmaj7
Someday all our dreams will come to be
C7 F
Someday in a world where men are free
F C
Maybe not in time for you and me
D7 G
But someday at Christmas time
D7 C
Someday at Christmas time.

version 3
Played w/ slight variation throughout. Tried to get the chords lined up as best
as possible. At the "One happy morning, people will care," I changed the chord
played from xxx666 to xx11-10-11x because of the slide up the neck. It's the same
chord so if you prefer the xxx666 (and its position after key changes), playing
it like that is just fine (both chords are identical).
G2 plays a lot of Wah filler/noise throughout the song.
