     G               G
It's Christmas in Australia
  E7                Am7
A time of peace and love
      Am               C
It's Christmas in Australia
      G              D
With southern skies above
      Am             C
From busy towns and cities
        E7           Am7
To the outback far away
    C             C
We come together to rejoice
 G           D         G
Because it's Christmas Day

  G               G
A time to share, a time to care
  E7                    Am7
A time when dreams come true
  Am               C
A time to think about the worth
   G             D
Of everything we do
    Am             C
For on this little world of ours
       E7          Am7
We're all one family
    C               C
So come and join us as we sing
  G          D      G
 Around a Christmas tree

    D      C            D    C
The summer nights, the fairy lights
     Am           G
And laughter everywhere
    G                      C
The church bells ring, the bellbirds sing
  Am               G7
 And joy is in the air
      D          G
With family and friends at home
  C                  G
Around the Christmas tree
            G         D     C   G
That's what Christmas in Australia
      G     D       G
Will always mean to me …

     G               G
Down under when it's Christmas time
         E7               Am7
There's lots for kids to do
      Am        C
Like decorating Christmas trees
    G               D
And mischief making too
    Am             C
And Santa Claus is not surprised
   E7        Am7
To hear the children say:
   C             C
"I want it to be Christmas
 G    D       G
Every single day"

    D      C            D    C
The summer nights, the fairy lights
     Am           C
And laughter everywhere
     G                      C
The church bells ring, the bellbirds sing
     Am             G7
 And joy is in the air
      D          G
With family and friends at home
  C         C         G
Around the Christmas tree
            G         D     C   G
That's what Christmas in Australia
      G     D7       G
Will always mean to me …
