The Christmas Wish by John Denver & The Muppets


                 The Christmas Wish 


Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret

D        A      Bm            G         A
I don't know if you believe in Christmas
D     A         Bm            G                A
Or if you have presents underneath a Christmas tree
G             A            D          A             Bm
But if you believe in love, that will be more than enough
G                    A            D
For you to come and celebrate with me
 
D        A      Bm            G         A
For I have held the precious gift that love brings
D        A      Bm            G         A
Even though I never saw a Christmas star
G             A          D          A           Bm
I know there is a light, I have felt it burn inside
G                    A            D
And I have seen it shining from afar
 
   G                 A              D   D7
   Christmas is the time to come together
   G                A               D   D7
   A time to put all differences aside
   G            A          D      A     Bm
   And I reach out my hand to the family of man
       G              A                 D
   To share the joy I feel at Christmas time
 
 
D        A      Bm            G         A
For the truth that binds us all together
D        A      Bm            G         A
I would like to say a simple prayer
G             A            D        A         Bm
That at this special time you will have true peace of mind
G                    A            D
And love to last throughout the coming year
 
   G                 A              D   D7
   Christmas is the time to come together
   G                A               D   D7
   A time to put all differences aside
   G            A          D      A     Bm
   And I reach out my hand to the family of man
       G              A                 D   D7
   To share the joy I feel at Christmas time
 
    G            A          D      A    Bm
   And I reach out my hand to the family of man
       G              A                  D
   To share the joy I feel at Christmas time

D  A  Bm  G  A
 
G          A                 D      A      Bm
And if you believe in love that will be more than enough
     G                A                   D   A  Bm
For peace to last throughout the coming year
     G                   A                   D
And peace on earth will last throughout the year
 
 
 
Notes: This chord sequence is capoed on the 3rd fret to play in tune with
the album that was released featuring John Denver in 1979.  The first and
second verses are played the same.  The first half of the offset bridge or
chorus (it's only sung once on the album) is slightly different; however
the 3rd and 4th verses play the same as the first.
