As recorded by the Carpenters (From the 1978 Album CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT) [Intro] C F [Chorus]
C
It's Christmas time and time for a carol

Am            G
Time to sing about the little King

   C
To fill the bowl and roll out the barrel

G                C
Have ourselves a fling
[Verse 1]
N.C.              C
We greet a friend or welcome a stranger

                                 G
Let him sing or cheer him on his way

    C                          C
And celebrate the child in the manger

        C
Born on Christmas day
[Verse 2]
C
Good cheer for you and for me

     Am           C
With pleasure and glee to share

          G  C             Am                 C
Oh, we're so happy to be together on yuletide square
[Verse 3]
C
It looks like snow and falls like snow

C
Take a moment, take a look about and say

              Am
As snowflakes fall

      C                      N.C.
Merry Christmas to one and all
[Chorus 2]

Merry Christmas to you
