Christmas Letter chords

Christmas Letter
Recorded by Keith Whitley
Written by John Greenebaum, Gene Nelson, Paul Nelson  


G                                  C
At an antique desk an old man sits alone
     Am                D7             G  Bm
It's Christmas Eve and almost time to go
   Em        D7        C      D7      G    C   Bm
He signs his name to a letter he just wrote        
        Am                   D7               G
Then he reads it back with a voice as soft as snow

C      Dm       C         Bm        Dm    G
I want peace on earth for Christmas      
     C                   Am      D7     G
In a world where there's not one hungry child
  C        G        Cm    G        B7       Em
A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate
D7                                     G
All that's gonna take is a little more love

                                      C     Cm
He walks outside and climbs up on his sleigh    
     Am                        D7               G   Bm
Then calls out to his reindeer and up they fly away
  Em          D7     C       D7     G      C  Bm
Tonight he'll make a million dreams appear        
         Am                   D7                   G
While he wishes his on dreams could come true this year

Repeat #2

  C        G        Cm    G        B7       Em
A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate
D7                                     G
All that's gonna take is a little more love
