Third Day - Merry Christmas (capo 5)
[VERSE 1]
D                                    A
There's a little girl trembling on a cold December morn
G             A
   Cryin' for momma's arms
      D                        A
At an orphanage just outside a little China town
G               A
   Where the forgotten are
    Em                           D
But half a world away I hang the stockings by the fire
      C                            A
And dream about the day when I can finally call you mine
[CHORUS]
      D                                  Em
It's Christmas time again but you're not home
     A                             D
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone
   Bm                                    Em
So tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms
    D                     G       A              D
And I'll tell you from my heart I wish you Merry Christmas
[VERSE 2]
     D                                 A
As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch the twinkling lights
G                   A
  I'm warmed by the fire's glow
    D                            A
Outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white,
G             A
  Make angels in the snow
    Em                             D
But half a world away you try your best to fight the tears
    C                                 A
And hope that heaven's angels come to carry you here
[CHORUS]
     D                                   Em
It's Christmas time again but you're not home
     A                             D
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone
   Bm                                    Em
So tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms
    D                     G     A                D
And I'll tell you from my heart I wish you Merry Christmas
[BRIDGE]
    C              G            D
And Christmas is a time to celebrate the holy child
        C             G               D
When we celebrate his perfect gift of love
   C                 G
He came to earth to give his life
    Bm
And prepare a place for us
   Em              G             A
So we could have a home with him above
[CHORUS]
     D                                   Em
It's Christmas time again and now you're home
     A                          D
Your family is here so you will never be alone
   Bm                                  Em
So tonight before you go to sleep I'll hold you in my arms
    D                     G   A  Em
And I'll tell you from my heart 
    D                     G
And I'll tell you from my heart   
A                D
I wish you Merry Christmas
