Christmas Wish The

[D]I don't k[A]now if [Bm]you believe in[G] Christmas[A]
[D]Or if [A]you have p[Bm]resents undern[G]eath a Christmas [A]tree
[G]But if you bel[A]ieve in love,[D] that will [A]be more than e[Bm]nough
[G]For you to come and c[A]elebrate with[D] me

For I have held the precious gift that love brings
Even though I never saw a Christmas star
I know there is a light, I have felt it burn inside
And I have seen it shining from afar

   [G]Christmas is the t[A]ime to come tog[D]ethe[D7]r
   [G]A time to put all[A] differences asi[D]de  [D7]
   [G]And I reach o[A]ut my hand [D]to the [A]family[Bm] of man
   To s[G]hare the joy I [A]feel at Christmas [D]time

For the truth that binds us all together
I would like to say a simple prayer
That at this special time you will have true peace of mind
And love to last throughout the coming year

(First half of last verse is instrumental.)
[D]  [A]  [Bm]  [G]  [A]
[D]  [A]  [Bm]  [G]  [A]

[G]And if you [A]believe in love th[D]at will[A] be mor[Bm]e than enough
For p[G]eace to last thro[A]ughout the coming ye[D]ar  [A]     [Bm]
And p[G]eace on earth will l[A]ast throughout the y[D]ear

Notes: This chord sequence is capped on the 3rd fret to play in tune with
the album that was released featuring John Denver in 1979.  The first and
second verses are played the same.  The first half of the offset bridge or

it's only sung once on the album) is slightly different; however
the 3rd and 4th verses play the same as the first.
