Lyrics With Performers
(Paul Young)
G# C# D#
It's Christmas time
G#
There's no need to be afraid
C# D#
At Christmas time
G#
We let in light and we banish shade
(Boy George)
C# D#
And in our world of plenty
G# C#
We can spread a smile of joy
D#
Throw your arms around the world
G#
At Christmas time
(George Michael)
C# D#
But say a prayer
G#
Pray for the other ones
C# D#
At Christmas time it's hard
(Simon LeBon)
G#
But when you're having fun
C# D#
There's a world outside your window
(Sting)
G# C#
And it's a world of dread and fear
D#
Where the only water flowing is
(Bono joins in)
G# C#
The bitter sting of tears
D#
And the Christmas bells that are ringing
G# C#
Are clanging chimes of doom
D# G#
(Bono only) Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you.
(Everyone)
C# D# G#
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time.
C# D# G#
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
C# D#
Where nothing ever grows
G# C#
No rain or rivers flow
D# G#
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
G# C# G#
(Paul Young)
Fm
Here's to you
D#
raise a glass for everyone
Fm
Here's to them
D#
underneath that burning sun
C# D# G#
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
G# C# G#
C# G# D#
G# C# G#
C# G# C# D#
Chorus (Everyone)
G# C# G# C# G# C# D#
Feed the world
G# C# G# C# G# C# D#
Feed the world
G# C# G#
Feed the world
C# G# C# D#
Let them know it's Christmas time
G# C# G#
Feed the world
C# G# C# D#
Let them know it's Christmas time

Feed the world
C# G# C# D#
Let them know it's Christmas time
Repeat till fade
