VERSE G G C C
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style
D D G G
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
G G C C
Children laughing, people passing Meeting smile after smile
D D G G
And on every street corner you hear
CHORUS G G C C
Silver bells (silver bells) silver bells (silver bells)
D D G G
It's Christmas-time in the city
G G C C
Ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling) hear them ring (hear them ring)
D D G G/
Soon it will be Christmas day
VERSE G G C C
Strings of street lights, even stop lights Blink a bright red and green
D D G G
As the shoppers run home with their treasures
G G C C
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch This is Santa's big scene
D D G G
And above all the bustle you hear
REPEAT CHORUS
ENDING D D/ G G/
Soon it will be Christmas day
