They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth,
But instead it just kept on raining,
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth.

I remember one Christmas morning,
C G D
The Winter's light and a distant choir,
D A G D
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell,
D G6 D Dsus2
And eyes full of tinsel and fire.

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night,
They told me a fairy story,
'Til I believed in the Israelite.
C G D
And I believed in Father Christmas,
C G D
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes,
D A G D
Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn,
D G6 D Dsus2
And I saw him and through his disguise.

I wish you a hopeful Christmas,
I wish you a brave New Year,
All anguish, pain and sadness,
Leave your heart and let your road be clear.

Hallelujah! Noel!, be it Heaven or Hell,

The Christmas we get, we deserve.
