The Hour Before Christmas Chords by Boyzone

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Streets are finally empty, tin shutters coming [Eb] down
I'm watching as the city [Bb] starts to breathe again _
The maddened crowd [Gm] dispersing, people going home
[Eb] Just an hour left [Bb] before the eve descends
When the world feels [Gm] right, _ in [Eb] the silent _ [Bb] night
Sometimes [F] _ _ [Bb] if I [Eb] stop to [Bb] close my [F] eyes
[Bb] I relieve the [Eb] years of true [Bb] believing
[F] And [Gm] understand there [Eb] is no other [Bb] time
[F] When peace [Cm] can touch us all, _ [Bb] _
[Eb] _ like the hour before Christmas
[Bb] Bells _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ call from cathedrals, [Am] stars fall from the [F] skies
Children sleeping [C] soundly in their beds tonight
[F] _
[C] Loved ones gone before us, [Am] like footprints in the snow
[F] Christmas cards remember, [C] we will never let them go
In that [F] midnight _ [D] hour, [F] _
in that silence
_ [N] Sometimes _ _
[C] _ [D] _ _ [A] [C] if I stop to [F] close [C] my eyes
[G] I [C] relieve the [F] years of true [C] believing
[G] And [Am] understand there [F] is no other [C] time
[G] When peace can [Dm] touch us all _
_ Snowflakes [G] falling into [Dm] morning
Time is standing [G] _ _ still
[D] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] Hark now angels _ _ sing
[Bm] _ A new king's [G] born today
_ _ _ [Dm] _
[C] Sometimes if I [F] stop to close [G] my eyes _
[C] I relieve the years [F] of true [C] believing
[G] And [Am] understand there is [F] no other [C] time
[G] When peace can [Dm] touch us all
[C] _ [F] Where _ [Dm] angels hear our call
[C] _ [F] In the hour before Christmas
Oh _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ Christmas [C] here _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
