of the season.
The streets are filled with laughter and light,
[G] and the music [A] of the season.
[D] And the merchants' windows are all bright,
with the faces [Bm] of the children, _
_ _ _ [G] and the [E] families who are [D] into their homes.
[G] As the sky [D] darkens and freezes,
[G] we'll be [A] gathering [D] around their hearths and tables,
giving thanks for [A] God's _ graces. _ _
[G] And the birth of the [D] rebel _ _ Jesus,
_ _ they call him by the Prince of Peace,
[G] and they call him [A] by the Savior,
_ [D] and they pray to him upon the seas,
and in every [Bm] bold endeavor,
_ [G] and they [E] fill his churches [D] with their pride and gold,
[G] as their faith in him [D] increases.
_ _ [G] But they've [A] turned the [D] nature that I worship in,
from a temple to a _ [A] robber's den. _
[G] In the words of the rebel [D] _ Jesus, _

_ _ _ we guard our world with locks and guns,
[G] and we guard our [A] fine possessions.
_ [D] And once a year when Christmas comes,
we give to [Bm] our relations,
_ [G] and perhaps [A] we give a [D] little to the poor,
[G] if the _ generosity [D] should seize us.
[G] But if [A] any one of [D] us should interfere,
in the business _ of why [A] they're our poor,
get [G] the same as the rebel [D] _ Jesus. _
_ _ _ But pardon me if I have ceased,
[G] to take the [A] tone of judgment,
_ for I've no wish to come between,
this day and [Bm] your enjoyment.
_ [G] In a [A] life of hardship [D] and of earthly toil,
[G] there's a need [A] for anything [D] that frees us.
[G] So I bid you [A] pleasure, [D] and I bid you cheer,
from a heathen and a _ pagan,
[E] _ _ on [G] the side [A] of the rebel [D] _ Jesus. _
