Its Christmas

I can remember back when we were small
F              C/G          Dm7          G
We would start counting the days 'til it all
        C/G
Would begin once again, the most magic of times
     F          C/G         F  ~    ~    C/G
That started us dreaming of wonders we'd find


 
Then down from the attic, our father would bring
F        C/G        Dm7        G
Boxes of ornaments, tinsel and things
     C/G
Like old family treasures, a wreath for the door
       F           C/G        F    ~    ~ C/G
It was almost like we'd never seen them before


CHORUS:

It's Christmas

We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
                      G 
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
         G C/G  F  C/G  Dm  G
It's Christmas


     C/G
With each passing day, the excitement would rise
     F          C/G         Dm7         G
When no one was looking, my brother and I
      C/G
Would peek at the presents, wrapped so prettily
    F         C/G           F ~   ~   C/G
And carefully put them back under the tree


 
When Christmas Eve came, we could finally say
     F             C/G     Dm7        G
That morning would only be one sleep away
     C/G
We were so excited by what lay ahead
     F         C/G        F        ~   ~  C/G
That Timmy and I would go straight off to bed


CHORUS:

It's Christmas

We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
                      G 
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
         G C/G  F  C/G  Dm  G
It's Christmas  


     C/G
Then we'd get up early and run down the hall
   F           C/G          Dm7           G
To wake up our parents, and then we would all
      C/G
Still in our pyjamas, pass the gifts out
      F             C/G          F      ~   ~ C/G
While wrappings and ribbons were thrown all about


CHORUS:

It's Christmas

We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
                      G 
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
         G C/G
It's Christmas


CHORUS:

It's Christmas

We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
                      G 
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
         G C/G  F  C/G  Dm  G
It's Christmas


CHORUS:
     C/G
It's Christmas

We'll put up the holly and mistletoe (it's Christmas)
                      G 
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
C/G
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
         G C/G  
It's Christmas
