Whats That Sound

JD McPherson


Tom: C#m

A
Neighbors are caroling around the town
E
Trying to spread a little bit of joy around
F#
I hear that sound, it makes me feel so fine
B7
Sounds a little bit like Christmas time

[Verse 2]
N.C.
What's that sound in the street I hear?
N.C.
I heard that same mighty sound last year
A
Parade drummers marching out two-by-two
E
Rocking out the holiday boogaloo
B7
What's that sound?
                         E
It sounds like Christmas time

[Chorus]
C#m           G#                  A              E
If you listen closely now, you'll hear it in the air
C#m                 G#                A            B7
That's the sound of Christmas cheer I hear it everywhere

[Verse 3]
N.C.
What's that sound in the town I hear?
N.C.
I heard that same busy sound last year
A
Shoppers are hoppin' and humming a tune
E
Happy Holidays! and How do you do?
B7
What's that sound?
                         E
It sounds like Christmas time

[Instrumental]
E  E  A  E   B7  E

[Chorus]
C#m           G#                  A              E
If you listen closely now, you'll hear it in the air
C#m                 G#                A            B7
That's the sound of Christmas cheer I hear it everywhere

[Verse 4]
N.C.
What's that sound on the roof I hear?
N.C.
I heard that same pitter-pat last year
A
Jingling bells and big black boots
E
A rattling chimney and thirty-two hooves
F#
I hear that sound and I feel so fine
B7
Sounds a little bit like Christmas time

[Verse 5]
N.C.
What's that sound down the road I hear?
N.C.
I heard that same ringing bell last year
A
Ringing that thing like he's leading a band
E
Trying to give a neighbor a helping hand
B7
What's that sound?
                         E
It sounds like Christmas time

[Outro]
B7
What's that sound?
                         E
It sounds like Christmas time
B7
What's that sound?
                         E
It sounds like Christmas time
