Chords

With Christmas coming up, I wanted to play this song as a special at church. But wasn't able to find any tabs or chords for it. So I was able to get 'em by ear. So, here it is. Any comments/corrections are more than welcomed. And if you're reading this during Christmas season, MERRY CHRISTMAS! CAPO I Intro
G,C,G,C
VERSE 1

Em               C      G           D
Here comes the letdown Christmas is over

Em              C            G            D
Here comes the meltdown, there goes the cheer

Em                    C          G           D
But before we have a breakdown, let us remember

    Am           G               C
The light of the world is still here
CHORUS
G   D  Am       C
Happy day after Christmas

G   D  Am       C
And merry rest of the year

G   D     Am           C
Even when Christmas is over

    Am           D              G
The light of the world is still here

                 C            
The light of the world

Em     C          G         D
Come January I’m ready for summer

Em                C             G         D
The Super Bowl’s over and I’ll settle for spring

Em             C          G           D
Sometimes we all need a change in the weather

      Am                 G         C
But it won’t change the reason we sing

   Em             C          G            D
So take down the stockings, take back the sweaters

   Em             C          G            D
Take down the lights and the star and the tree

   Em                C             G         D
But don’t let this world take your joy after Christmas

      Am        G                C
Take joy to the world and just sing

And merry rest of the year

G   D     Am           C
Even when Christmas is over
