Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
I
People making lists
Buying special gifts,
Taking time to be kind to one and all
It's that time of year
When good friends are dear
And you wish you could give more
Than just presents from a store
Refrain i
Why don't you give love on Christmas day
Oh even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Give love on Christmas day
No greater gift is there than love
(Repeat Intro)
II
(Same chords in I)
People you don't know
Smile and say hello
everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy
it's that once a year
When the world's sincere
and you'd like to find a way
to show the things that words can't say
Refrain ii
(Same chords in Refrain I)
Why don't you?
Give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day)
Oh the man on the street and the couple upstairs
All need to know that there's one cares
Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes the world needs your love
Coda
What the world needs is love
Yes the world needs your love
Give love
Refrain iii
(Same chords in Refrain I)
Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day)
Oh every little child on Santas knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love
(Repeat Coda)
Give it, oh, give love on Christmas day (Christmas day) ...
