CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: C/G  
I can remember back when we were small
FWe would start C/Gcounting the Dm7days 'til it Gall
Would beC/Ggin 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
FBoxes of C/Gornaments, Dm7tinsel and Gthings
Like C/Gold 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)
See the soft coloured Glights through the falling snow
C/GCards to be sent, carols to be sung
It's ChriGstC/GmasF  C/G  Dm  G  
With C/Geach passing day, the excitement would rise
When Fno one was C/Glooking, my Dm7brother and GI
Would C/Gpeek 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
That Fmorning would C/Gonly be Dm7one sleep aGway
We weC/Gre so excited by what lay ahead
              F          C/G          F~   ~  C/G  
That Timmy and I would go straight off to bed

Then C/Gwe'd get up early and run down the hall
To Fwake up our C/Gparents, and Dm7then we would Gall
Still C/Gin our pyjamas, pass the gifts out
