Christmas In America

C         Am  G   C    Dm              C
Christmas in America a blessed time of year
         F        Am       C
Children laughing carolers singing
    D                G
And Santa mounts his gear
C      G           Am       C
Family friends and food and fun
    F                     E7
And sleigh rides down the lane
    F               C      Am
And all will make a joyful noise
   Dm7        G7       C
To praise the new born King
N.C.                   G   C
Hallelujah hallelujah America

America America it’s Christmas time once more

Christmas trees and holly leaves
E7                  A7
Mistletoe above the door

  Friends are made and pastries bake
    G                 F#7
And shoppers line the streets

And help us see our brother’s needs
E7                        A7
  Before we deck our halls
D
  And teach how to give
             G                          F#7
The greatest gift we can hand out, (hand out)
G       Em    F#m   Bm     Em7       A   D
