[C#] [Fm]
[C#] [A#m] [F#]
[C#]
All the streets are filled with laughter and light
And [F#] the music of [G#] the season
[C#] And the merchants' windows are all bright
The faces [A#m] of the children
And [F#] the [G#] families serving [C#] to their homes
[F#] As the sky darkens and [C#] freezes
[F#] We'll be [G#] gathering [C#] around their hearts and tables
Giving thanks for God's [G#] grace
[F#] And the [G#] birth of the rebel [C#] Jesus
They call him by the Prince of Peace
[F#] And they call him by [G#] the Savior
[C#] And they pray to him upon the seas
And in every bold [A#m] endeavor
And [F#] they fill [G#] his churches with [C#] their pride and gold
[F#] As their [G#] faith in him [C#] decreases
But [F#] they've turned [G#] the nature [C#] that I worship
From a temple [G#] to a robber's den
In [F#] the [G#] words of the rebel [C#] Jesus
[Fm]
[C#] [A#m] [A#]
[F#] [C#]
We guard our world with locks and guns
[F#] And we guard our [G#] fine possessions
[C#] And once a year when Christmas comes
We give to [A#m] our relations
And [F#] perhaps [G#] we give a little [C#] to the poor
[F#] If the [D#] generosity [C#] should seize us
[F#] But if [G#] anyone of us [C#] should interfere
In their business, though [G#]
either are poor
They get [F#] the same as [G#] the rebel [C#] Jesus
But pardon me if I have seemed
[F#] To take the tone [G#] of judgment
[C#] For I've nowhere to come between
This day and [A#m] your enjoyment
[C#] [F#] In the life [C#] of hardship and of earthly toil
There's a [F#] need for [G#] anything that freezes
So [F#] I bid [G#] you pleasure [C#] and I bid you cheer
From a heathen and a
[G#] pagan
[F#] On the side [G#] of the rebel [C#] Jesus
[F#] [D#m]
[C#]
I stand with the teachers.
