[Verse]
C5 F5 G5 C5
It's Christmas time, and there's no need to be afraid
F5 G5 C5
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
F5 G5 C5 F5
And in our world of plen-ty we can spread a smile of joy
Dm G5 C5
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time
F5 G5
But say a prayer
C5
Pray for the other ones
F5 G5
At Christmas time it's hard
C5
But when you're having fun
F5 G5
There's a world outside your window
C5 F5
And it's a world of dread and fear
Dm G5
Where the only water flowing is
C5 F5
The bitter sting of tears
Dm G5
And the Christmas bells that ring there
C5 F5
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Dm G C
Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you!
F G C
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
F G C C7 C
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
F G C F
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Dm G C F C
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G
Here's to you, raise a glass for everyone
Am G
Here's to them, underneath that burning sun
F G
Do they know it's Christmas time?
[Chorus]
C F C
Feed the wo - rld
Dm G
Let them know it's Christmas time
C F C
Feed the wo - rld
Dm G
Let them know it's Christmas time
C F C
Feed the wo - rld
Dm G C
Let them know it's Christmas time again
