Christmas On Earth Chords by Momus

_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ And _ _ _ [C#m] I hope _ there'll [C#] be days in [D] the snow _ _ When _ _ _
_ [A] _ I _ _ [B] return
_ _ _ [D] Many life _ [C#m] years on, _ _ [A] but my friends _ [G#] don't have died _
[C#m] And _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] the rain _ _ [A] makes a sound _ _ [D] like the _ afternoon
_ [G#] _ _ _ _
[D] There are worlds _ [G#] they divide us in [C#m] the clouds
I'm [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m]
receiving _ transmissions [D] they broadcast long ago
[A] They remind me of the things I've [G]
seen
_ _ [Em] All the people _ and [F#m] cities _ and _ [C#] _
crowds _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] Ring the bells, ring the bells, ring them Ring the bells, I can still hear them
Ring the bells, ring the bells, ring them Ring the bells, I can still hear [C#m] them
Here _ on [G#] the way _ to [C#m] the stars _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] About now, _ [A] back on Earth, _ it [D] is Christmas time _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] They'll be locked _ in [C#] the crate, _ _ [F#] they will _ burn
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ [B] I'm alone, _ [B] tape [D] recording _ _ memories
[C#m] _ _
_ _ _ For it all _ [G#] will change _ when [C#m] I return
_ And _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] the rain _ is [A] so strange _ [D] in the milky way
_ [G#] _ I _ _ [D] see cloudscapes _ [G#] of purple _ [C#m] and green
_ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ Candelabras are shooting [D] off far away displays
And [A] I'm writing the things I [G] have seen _ _
_ [Em] People's sobs _ _ and [F#m]
sparks _ from [C#] a train _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] Ring the bells, ring the bells, ring them Ring the bells, [C] I can still hear them
Ring the bells, ring the bells, ring them Ring _ the bells, I [C#m] can still hear them
Here [G#] on the way _ to [C#m] the stars _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] Ring the bells, ring the bells, ring them Ring the bells, I can still hear them
Ring the bells, ring the bells, ring them Ring the bells, I can still hear them
[C#m]
Here _ on the way [D#] _
to the stars _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] Well I know _ _
[G#m] [A] that on Earth _ it [D] is Christmas time _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] But in space, _ time [C#] goes by so [D] _ slow _
At _ _ _ _ [C#m] the speed _ _ [B] of light, _ _
_ [D] _ _ one single [C#m] night
_ _ Is [A] a year _ [G#] to the people _ _ [C#m] back home _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
