[Verse]
G7Who's that chubby old hippy stuck in your chimney
Sliding down in your fireplace, and now you see him knee-Bmadd11high
Cadd9He's dropping out of the sky, dropping in just to lay it on you on a
Christmas mornin'G7  
[Verse]
G7Got a pipe in one hand and a peace sign in the other
Got a sack on his back full of toys, love and brotherhBmadd11ood
Cadd9A Volkswagen bus pulled by eight tiny reindeer, a twinkle in his eye
and granola in his grinG7  
[Chorus]
BmPeace..F...Am...Eb.....NG7ick
[Verse]
G7To the children of the world he says Love is the answer
To the grown-ups, says are you gonna give peace a chance or whaBmadd11t?
Cadd9In a trance on a transcontinental transcendental trip, can you dig what
a long strange trip it's beG7en?
[Chorus]
BmPeace..F...Am...Eb.....NG7ick is flyin'
[Bridge]
FNow he shouting, "On Janis! On Jimi! On Jerryyyeah!"
And he shakes when he laughs like a bowl full of Cherry GCarcia
Singing, "F#Ahhhhhhhhhhh...vEay MF#maria"
[Chorus]
G7Some would tell him his message is silly and saccharine
Some would call him a walking North Pole anachroniBmadd11sm
Cadd9And yeah, he's far out, but he's never far out of style - he'll turn
you on, but he'll never turn you inG7  
[Chorus]
BmPeace..F...Am...Eb.....NG7ick is flyin'
[Outro]
Merry CCadd9hristmas to all, and to all peace tonight
Cadd9
And I heard his exclaim as he rode...
Outta sight!G7  
G7Outta sight!
G7Outta sight ...
