A Christmas Song

F F/E | Dm Dm/C | A# | C | F F/E | Dm Dm/C | A# C | F || F F/E Dm Dm/C He came in the way that good things come A# C F F with the lights shining in his eyes. F F/E Dm Dm/C And most people thought he was another little babe A# C F F that wrinkled up his face and cried. C C C C7 And then one wise man, two wise men, three wise men come afrom afar, F F/E Dm Dm/C and the many colored men knew this was a special child A# C F F and that's why they followed that star. F F/E | Dm Dm/C | A# C | F | F F/E | Dm Dm/C | A# C | F || F F/E Dm Dm/C He came East and West, then he found himself, A# C F F in forty day and forty night. F F/E Dm Dm/C He gave a lot of love to everyone he met A# C F F and he told them that the way was right. C C And then the people drew near, said they want to hear C C7 what's all this talking about. F F/E Dm Dm/C And everybody loved that man so much that A# C F F they wanted to laugh and shout. F F/E | Dm Dm/C | A# C | F | F F/E | Dm Dm/C | A# C | F || F F/E Dm Dm/C But a bunch of people said he had the wrong idea A# C F F so they told him to forget that thought. F F/E Dm Dm/C So a secretive society came about A# C F F and they were looking for the love they sought. C C And then the people in power said: we gave you an order, C C7 go back and be a carpenter F F/E Dm Dm/C But the shining in his face told him was right A# C F F and so they put him on a cross right there. F | F | F | F7 || F F/E | Dm Dm/C | A# C | F || F F/E Dm Dm/C Now, he's been gone for a mighty long time, A# C F F we've forgotten what the man had said. F F/E Dm Dm/C Look at your life in the right direction A# C F F and be sure to look inside your head. C C And when you get around your Christmas tree C C7 be sure to give all you can, F F/E Dm Dm/C because the more you're gonna give, the more you're gonna get, A# C F F be you woman or a gentleman. F F/E Dm Dm/C Now, Christmas and Easter ain't the only time A# C F F that we should be that way. F F/E Dm Dm/C Love all the people and help your neighbor A# C F F now each and every day. C C And when you do that, you'll see where it's at, C C7 you'll feel what I'm talking around. F F/E Dm Dm/C And then the whole wide world is gonna live in peace A# C F F and everybody's gonna be found. (Repeat and Fade Out) F F/E | Dm Dm/C | A# C | F |
