Do They Know It’s Christmas * - Band Aid
Intro: 1,2,3...
[Single strums]
It’s Christmas [F*] time... [G*] there’s no need to [C*] be afraid
At Christmas [F*] time... we [G*] let in light and we [C*] banish shade
[Normal Strumming]
And in our [Dm] world of [G] plenty we can [C] spread a smile of [F] joy
Throw your [Dm] arms around the [G] world at Christmas [C] time [C]
But say a [F] prayer... [G] pray for the [C] other ones
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
[Louder] Well to[Dm]night thank God it’s [G]them instead of [C] you
And there [F] won’t be snow in [G] Africa this [C] Christmas time [C7]
The [F] greatest gift they’ll [G] get this year is [C] life [C7]..ohhhh
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
[F//][C//]
[Bridge (Single strums)]
[Am*] Here’s to you raise a [G*] glass for everyone
[Am*] Here’s to them... under[G*] neath that burning sun
[F*] Do they know it’s [G*] Christmas time at [C*] all?
Outro:
