Bb                             Eb
Bring out all the old decorations
Bb                             Eb
Some of them, they're older than us
Ab                              Eb   Bb
To my new neighbors, I say salutation
Ab                              Eb   Bb
Come shelter in here from the dust

[Verse 2]
Bb                              Eb
Take your cellphone off of the table
Bb                              Eb
And look your father straight in the eye
Ab                              Eb
Could this stranger become an angel?
Ab                           Eb   F
Could the winter brighter your sky?

[Chorus]
Bb        Eb              Bb   Eb
Somebody, hold out their hand
Bb              Eb       Bb    F#dim
Well, somebody, count off the band
Gm7                           C
Come on, let's light up the town
     E          F             Bb
And, Christmas, don't let me down

[Verse 3]
Bb                                Eb
Well, the bars are stuffed to the rafters
Bb                                Eb
And all the children lie awake in their beds
Ab                                Eb
But can ya fill up the houses with laughter?
Ab                           Eb   F
Shall we dance and honor our dead?

[Chorus]
Bb        Eb              Bb   Eb
Somebody, hold out their hand
Bb              Eb       Bb    F#dim
Well, somebody, count off the band
Gm7                           C
Come on, let's light up the town
     E          F             Bb
And, Christmas, don't let me down

[Verse 4]
Bb                                Eb
Well, another Christmas Eve is upon us
Bb                                    Eb
Can we go gentle into that cold, cold night
Ab                                    Eb
Well, I know you can't grant all my wishes
Ab                             Eb
Yet I pray for the world to be kind

[Chorus]
Eb    Ab        Eb     Ab
Now, hold out your hand
Eb    Ab        Eb            Bdim
Well, somebody, count off the band
Cm7                           F
Come on, let's light up the town
     Ab         Bb            Eb
And, Christmas, don't let me down
