_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _
When someone very [F] dear _ [G] calls you with the words [C] everything's all clear
That's what you [F] want to hear
But you [G] know it might be different [C] in the new year
[F] That's why, [G] that's why
[F] We hang the lights so [G] high
[F] Joy, _ _ _ [C] joy
_ [F] Joy, _ joy
[C] _ You loved it [F] as a kid
But now you need it more [C] than you ever did
It's [B] because [F] of the dark
You see the beauty in [C] the spark
That's why, [G] that's why
The carols make you [G]
cry
[F] Joy, _ _ _ [C] _ joy [F] Joy, _ _ _ [C] joy
A tinsel on a [F] tree
Yes, I see
[C] A honey on a jewel Like [G] before
[C] Candles in a gloom
Light the room
A sunny army band
[F] Yes, [G] I [C] understand
[F] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [C] _ So [Em] light the winter [F] fire
And [D] watch as [C] the flames grow higher
We'll gather [F] up our fears
And face down [C] all the coming years
And all that [G] they destroy
[F] And in their face we [G] throw our
[F] Joy, _ _ _ [C]
joy
_ [Em] [Am] Joy, _ _ [D] _ [C] joy
It's why, [F] _ it's why
We [C] hang the lights so high
And [B] gaze [Am] at the glow
Of [C] silver birches in the snow
Because [F] of the dark
We [C] see the beauty in the spark
We [F] must be alright
[D] If we could make up [C] Christmas night
_ [F] _ _ _ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ [Em] _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
