[G] [A] [D]
All the streets are filled with laughter and light, [G] and the music of [A] the season.
And [D] the merchants' windows are all bright, with the faces [Bm] of the children.
And [G] the [A] families [D] hurrying to their homes, as [G] the sky [A] darkens [D] and freezes.
[G] We'll be [A] gathering around [D] the hearts and tails, giving thanks for God's
[A] graces,
[G] and the birth of [A] the new-born [D] Jesus.

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