Intro

C(add2), F(add2) [4 beats per chord]

Every year at Christmas, all I can see

 Are pictures of the things I want around the tree

 But this year's a little different

 I'm not thinking of myself

 So my prayer for this Christmas

 Is for somebody else

 So I pray

Joy To the World

Peace for every boy and girl

God I know you're listening and you can hear

The need of every broken heart and all their tears

 I don't have a lot to offer

 Just this one simple prayer

 That this Christmas everyone would know

 Somebody cares...

 So I pray

Joy to the world

Peace for every boy and girl

Hope when life is hard

Light when everything seems dark

 I pray that every hungry soul

 Will be fed and will be warm

 That not a single solitary child

 Would suffer harm

And wars would find their ending

 As we take another view

My hope is that this Christmas prayer

  [, : 1 beat per chord]

Would somehow come tru--e

I pray

 Humanity would rise

 And join with me

 And togeth-er we'll sing

Woah, woah

Joy [To the World] To all the world

Peace for every boy and girl

 Talking ‘bout hope when life is hard

Light when everything seems dark

 I pray that every hungry soul

 Will be fed and will be warm

 That not a single solitary child

 Would suffer harm

 And Lord, we find their ending

 As we take another view

 So now my hope is that this Christmas prayer

 Would somehow come true

Joy To the World

Peace for every boy and girl
