Merry Christmas

[A]There's a little girl trembling on a cold [Esus4]   December morn   [E]       [D]
Crying for m[Esus4]omma's arms [E]
At an orph[A]anage just outside a l[Esus4]ittle China town   [E]       [D]
There the for[Esus4]gotten are

[E]But h[Bm]alf a world away I hang the stock[A]ings by the fire
And dr[G]eam about the day when I can fi[Esus4]nally call you mine   [E]
It's C[A]hristmas time again but you're not h[Bm]ome
Your fam[D]ily is here and yet you're some[A]where else alone
So t[F#m7]onight I pray that God will come and hold [Bm]you in his arms
And I'll [A]tell you from my hear[D]t    [E] I wish you Merry Chris[A]tmas

[A]As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch[Esus4]    the twinkling lights  [E]      [D]
I'm warmed by the [Esus4]fire's glow and[E]
Outs[A]ide the children tumble in a wond[Esus4]erland of white, [E]     [D]
Make angels[Esus4] in the snow

[E]But h[Bm]alf a world away you try your b[A]est to fight the tears
And h[G]ope that heaven's angels come to [Esus4]carry you here  [E]

It's [A]Christmas time again but you're not h[Bm]ome
Your [D]family is here and yet you're somew[A]here else alone
So t[F#m7]onight I pray that God will come and hold [Bm]you in his arms
And I'll t[A]ell you from my heart[D]    [E]I wish you Merry Christm[A]as
And [G]Christmas is a time [D]to celebrate t[A]he holy child
And when we [G]celebrate his p[D]erfect gift of lov[A]e
He c[G]ame to earth to give h[D]is life
And prep[Fm]are a place for us
So [Bm]we could have a home [G]  with him above [E]

It's C[A]hristmas time again and now you're h[Bm]ome
Your [D]family is here so you will ne[A]ver be alone
So to[F#m7]night before you go to sleep I'll hold [Bm]you in my arms
And I'll [A]tell you from my hea[D]rt  and I'll [A]tell you from my he[D]art
[E]I wish you Merry Chri[A]stmas
