Christmas Is Near

G                                         D7
Holly in the window the fireplace burning bright
                                       G
Candle lights a glowing on a Christmas night
                                           D7
I'll see the smiling faces once again this year
                                             G
Waiting for me at the door Christmas time is near

                                      D7
Out in the country about this time of year
                                    G
Everybody's happy Christmas time is near
                                       D7
Little children playing running to and fro
                                    G
Santa Claus is coming riding on the snow

           D7             G
I remember years ago when just a lad at home
A7                                  D7
How I longed for Christmas time and nothing could go wrong
G                                             D7
Now today as I look back it seems like just a year
                                            G
Going back to see 'em all Christmas time is near

              D7             G
I can see the pine trees now swaying here and there
     A7                               D7
They seem to know it's Christmas time there's joy everywhere
G                                            D7
Ice froze on the branches the water cool and clear
                                       G
Snowflakes a falling Christmas time is near

                                      D7
Out in the country about this time of year
                                    G
Everybody's happy Christmas time is near
