Intro:
C        | G7/D        | C/E        | F        | 
Dm       | G           | G 


C            G7/D        C/E             F 
  Tricycles,   bicycles, candy canes and candlelight, 
Dm                G/B      C        Dm                 G 
  tryin' to stay awake all night to catch a glimpse of Santa's reindeer. 
C              G7/D             C/E           F 
  Mama bakin',   sister makin', angels in the fallin' snow, 
Dm                G/B   C     Dm                 Gsus4        G 
  now it seems so long ago, I wish they all were here. 

 
             C        Em            Dm       C 
We'd have an old time Christmas, an old time Christmas, 
F               G               C           F    G 
  just like the ones from yesterday. 
               C       Em               Dm     C 
We'd leave the world behind us, let the spirit find us, 
            F        G                       C     G7/D    C/E    F      F 
and have an old time Christmas for old times sake. 


C                  G7/D             C/E                 F 
  Friends singin',   bells ringin', snowman standing in   the yard, 
Dm              G/B       C     Dm              G 
  it's a living Christmas card, captured in our hearts forever. 
C                  G7/D                   C/E         F 
  Friends scatter,   it won't matter, the magic never melts away, 
Dm                G/B       C      Dm          Gsus4       G 
  it only takes a Christmas Day to make it reappear. 


             C        Em            Dm       C 
We'd have an old time Christmas, an old time Christmas, 
F               G               C           F    G 
  just like the ones from yesterday. 
               C       Em               Dm     C 
We'd leave the world behind us, let the spirit find us, 
            F        G                       C       C 
and have an old time Christmas for old times sake. 

Outro:
              Am      G/B               F      C 
So, leave the world behind you, let the spirit find you, 
            Dm       Gsus4     G               C    G7/D    C/E   F      C 
and have an old time Christmas   for old times sake.
