Do They Know Its Christmas by Band Aid 20
Do They Know Its Christmas
The first fill is the one played after the phrase Do they know its Christmas. The solo
is played by two guitars but in different scale. The second guitar plays exactly the same
thing but in 5 semitones down. This part requires perfect timing. Towards the end there
are a lot of crazy guitar sounds and such with wah-wah, which you can play if you like.
Just improvise there.

It's Christmastime, there's no need to be afraid
|F |G |C |
At Christmastime, 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 Christmastime
|F |G |C |
But say a prayer, Pray for the other ones
|F |G |C |
At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
|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
|C |F
Is 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
|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, Ohhhh
|F |G
Where nothing ever grows
|C |F
No rain nor rivers flow
|Dm |G |C |F C
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
|Am
Here's to you
|G
Raise a glass for everyone
|Am
Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
|G
If the table was turned would you survive
|Am
Here's to them
|G
Underneath that burning sun
|Am
You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless
|G
Give a little help to the helpless
