D
When I go home I will walk via Tinseltown

Bm
Down LED avenues, jingle bells all around

A
Where they pluck all the stars from out the sky

G
And they hang them from rafters up on high

D
I wished away the last year, it was the worst of times

Bm
Audition for ass end of horse in village pantomime

A
Just to hear your voice calling from the back

G
“it’s behind you!” oh yeh thank God for that
[Chorus]

Christmas Eve, torrential rain

B5
One single snowflake on this plain

A5
I held you in gloved hands

And I’m not letting go

I’m not letting go

New Year to November

It’s looming near, it lingers close

D
Saved hard all Winter to ensure your stocking’s full

Bm
Joined the choir, took myself door to door

A
Making small change with all the carollers

Every mention of His name changed to yours

A dream of you stood naked as Christmas tree

Bm
Left unattended ’til second week of February

A
In the morning, you’re lying next to me

G
Covered in gold, stole from nativity

Can you hear it?
Let the bells chime!

Lift your glasses high
For the Boy Child!

Lift your glasses high
For the Boy Child! D
