Isn't That What Christmas Is For

Capo: 6th fret

[Intro]
D/F#      G       Bm      A
 
[Verse 1]
D/F#               G                     Em             A
     It’s easy to wish for snow when you got someone to hold
D/F#               G                     Em               A
     It’s easy to love the cold when you got somewhere to go
D/F#                     G                                   Em                   A
     It’s a roll of the dice where you’re born, where you’re from, where you call home
D/F#                G                       Em        A
     and no one can say where the wind will blow
 
[Chorus]
         G                A       D/F#          Bm
So I’ll ask for a little less and give a little more
G           A             D/F#     Bm    A
Count up my blessings and open my door
    G              A                F#m                   Bm  A  Em    D/F# G
To lonely souls on broken roads, to hearts that have been torn    (walk up)
A
     Isn’t that what Christmas is for?
 
D/F#      G       Bm      A
 
[Verse 2]
D                 G                  Em                   A
     When I was a kid I’d write up a list underneath the tree
            D            N.C.             Em                      A
Wishing for things I want, when some were wishing for things they need
D                 G                     Em                   A
     Mama took me by the hand and said “Child, on Christmas Eve—
D/F#                 G                Em              A
     It’s all about what you give and not what you receive”
 
[Chorus 2]
         G                A       D/F#          Bm
So I’ll ask for a little less and give a little more
G            A            D/F#     Bm   A
Count up my blessings and open my door
    G              A                F#m                   Bm   A  Em    D/F#  G
To lonely souls on broken roads, to hearts that have been torn     (walk up)
A                                Em
    Isn’t that what Christmas is for?
 
[Bridge]
 
Em    D/F#     G
      For giving hope
      A      Em
For sharing love
     D/F#     G      A           Em
With those of us who need it the most
    D/F#      G
For finding joy
    A         C  G  A  A7
And peace on earth
