Christmas makes you feel e-mo-tional.

6  6   6     6  6    6  6        6 -8 7  -7
It may bring parties or thoughts devo-tional.

7  -8 8   7  -8   8  7    -8  8
Whate-ver happens or what may be,

-7   7  -8   -7    7   -8   -7    7  -8
Here is what Christmas time means to me:


VERSE

7 -6 6   5      7 -6 5   4
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks,

8       -8 7 -6 -6  -6
Dressed in holi-day style.

-8 7   -7  6       -5 -5 6    -5 -5    5
In the air there's a- feeling of Christmas.

7   -6   6   5     7  -6  6  5
Children laughing, people passing,

8   -8   7     -6 -6  -6
Greeting smile af-ter smile,

-8  7  -7 6  -5     -5 6   -8     7
And on every street corner you'll hear,


CHORUS

5  -5  6      -6 -7  7
Silver bells! Silver bells!

-7   -7    7   -8   7  -7  7 6
It's Christmas time in the city.

5    -5 6     -6   -7   7
Ring-a--ling! Hear them ring!

-7   -7 7    -8 7     -7  7
Soon it will be Christmas day.


Strings of street lights, even stop lights,
Blink a bright red and green,
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch,
This is Santa's big scene,
And above all this bustle you'll hear,

REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT LAST LINE OF CHORUS
