Standard (EADGBE)

 i've been told since i was young

that everytime that christmas comes

santa comes with gifts and toys

for every little girl and boy

i've been told since i was small

that christmas comes with peace for all

everyone loves and no one hates

its been said that life is great

 maybe someday i would see

the christmas they keep showing me

the picture of how things should be

the one they keep on asking me to see

maybe someday (maybe someday)

stanza2: (do stanza chords)

i wonder if they'll ever see

the children begging on the streets

the old man sleeping on a bed

of concrete underneath the shed

i wonder if they'll ever see

the family with no food to eat

the father with no gifts to leave

underneath the tree on christmas eve
