Be a child at Christmas time, with a merry heart a - glow;

  Am7       D9     Am7   D7   C       C/B     Cdim    D7  G     D7
Through a frosty window pane, you can see the fall - ing snow.


 G5       Em7       G5    Em7   G5             G     G5   Cdim  C
Trim the tree with candy canes, listen to the church bell chime;

Am7  Cdim   G9        E7      Cdim   C   C/B  Cdim    D7   G
Say little prayer at night, be  a  child at  Christ - mas time.


G5    Em7     G5    Em7   G5          Gdim Cdim  D7
Only children understand what a merry heart can do;

Am7   D9       Am7       D7 C     C/B     Cdim    D7  G     D7
Be a child and you'll agree ev'rything is bright and new.


G5       Em7         G5     Em7  G5                G     G5   Cdim  C
When the snow comes dancing down and you hear the church bell chime,

Am7      Cdim      G9     E7      Cdim  C   C/B  Cdim    D7   G
Let your heart be young again -- be a child at  Christ - mas time.
