Throw your [Dm] arms around the [G] world at Christmas [C] time. [C!]

At Christmas [F] time, it's [G] hard, but when you're [C] having fun

There's a [F] world outside your [G] window,

And it's a [C] world of dread and [F] fear,

Where the [Dm] only water [G] flowing

Is the [C] bitter sting of [F] tears.

And the [Dm] Christmas bells that [G] ring there

Are the [C] clanging chimes of [F] doom.

Well, [Dm] tonight thank God it's [G] them, instead of [C] you.

And there [F] won't be snow in [G] Africa this [C] Christmas time.

The [F] greatest gift they'll [G] get this year is [C] life. [C7]

Where [F] nothing ever [G] grows, no [C] rain nor rivers [F] flow,

[Dm] Do they know it's [G] Christmas time at [C] all? [C]

[Am!] Here's to you; Raise a [G!] glass for everyone.

[Am!] Here's to them; Under[G!]neath that burning sun
