Do They Know Its Christmas

Barenaked Ladies

 Cadd9
Verse 1:
 Cadd9Fmaj7GCadd9
 It's Christmas time,       there's no need to be afraid
 Fmaj7GCadd9
At Christmas time,  we let in light and we banish shade
 Fmaj7G
And in our world of plenty
 Cadd9Fmaj7
We can spread a smile of joy
 Dm7GCadd9
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

Verse 2:
 Fmaj7GCadd9C7
But say a prayer,    and pray for the other ones 
 Fmaj7GCadd9
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun
 Fmaj7G
There's a world outside your window
 Cadd9Fmaj7
And it's a world of dread and fear
 Dm7G
And the only water flowing
 Cadd9Fmaj7
Is the bitter sting of tears
 Dm7G
And the Christmas bells that ring there
 Cadd9Fmaj7
Are the clanging chimes of doom
 Dm7GCadd9
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

Verse 3:
 Fmaj7GCadd9C7
There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time         
 Fmaj7GCadd9
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
 Fmaj7GCadd9Fmaj7
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or river flows
 Dm7G
 Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

 Here's to them underneath that burning sun

 Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
