I believe in Father Christmas




    D ~      (U2 version)    (clip)    (midi)



    G             D                        A           D

1.      They said there'll be snow at Christmas

G            D                      A            D

     they said there'll be peace on earth,

G              D              A          D

    but instead it just kept on raining,

G                 D                 A       D

    a veil of tears for the virgin birth.



C         G                     D

    I remember one Christmas morning,

             C         G               D

    the Winter's light and a distant choir,

                    D         F#m                    G                     D

    and the peal of a bell, and that Christmas tree smell,

             D               C             D

    and eyes full of tinsel and fire.



    G             D                A              D

2.      They sold me a dream of Christmas,

G           D              A       D

    they sold me a Silent Night.

G           D              A      D

    They told me a fairy story,

G             D                 A    D

    'til I believed in the Israelite.



C                G             D

    And I believed in Father Christmas,

               C                   G              D

    and I looked to the sky with excited eyes,

              D              F#m             G                 D

    'till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn,

              D                      C                   D

    and I saw him and through his disguise.

















     G     D                A             D

3.      I wish you a hopeful Christmas,

G     D                 A               D

    I wish you a brave New Year,

G       D             A            D

    all anguish, pain and sadness,

G                     D                          A            D

    leave your heart and let your road be clear.



C             G                        D

     They said there'd be snow at Christmas,

C           G                       D

    they said there'd be peace on earth.

             D        F#m             G              D

    Hallelujah! Noel!, be it Heaven or Hell,

                D                C              D

    the Christmas we get, we deserve.
