G


[Chorus]
G             C
Silver bells, silver bells
D              D7          G
It's Christmas time in the city
             C
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
D            D7           G
Soon it will be Christmas day


[Verse 1]
G
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
           C
Dressed in holiday style
       D
In the air
          D7
There's a feeling
   G
Of Christmas
G
Children laughing
G
People passing
         C
Greeting smile after smile
       D            D7            G
And on every street corner you'll hear


[Chorus]
G             C
Silver bells, silver bells
D              D7          G
It's Christmas time in the city
             C
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
D            D7           G
Soon it will be Christmas day


[Verse 2]
G
Strings of street lights
G
Even stop lights
        C
Blink a bright red and green
       D             D7
As the shoppers rush home
           G
With their treasures
G
Hear the snow crunch
G
Hear the kids laugh
        C
This is Santa's big scene
     D            D7
And above all the glitter
       G
You'll hear


[Chorus]
G             C
Silver bells, silver bells
D              D7          G
It's Christmas time in the city
             C
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
D            D7           G
Soon it will be Christmas day
D                         G
Soon it will be Christmas day
