City street lights, even stop lights
G Em
Blink a bright red and green
A A7 D | G D/F# Em7 |
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
D D7/F#
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
G Em
This is Santa's big scene
A A7 D | A7 |
And above all this bustle you'll hear
[Chorus]
D G
Silver bells, silver bells
A7 D | G D/F# Em7 |
It's Christmas time in the city
D G
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
A A7 | D | % |
Soon it will be Christmas Day
[Coda]
A A7 | G | G D/F# Em7 | D
Soon it will be Christmas Day

Where meek souls will receive Him still,

The dear Christ enters in.
