Intro
A E A D
Say friends wherever you are tonight, in the snows of New England or up in the Northwest,
A E D A A
or on warm tropical beaches of Florida coast, I hope you're getting into the spirit of this Christmas day.
A E D A A
I don't mean sitting back in your easy chair us having all the fun. Throw back your head, open up your heart.
A E D A D
and singing as loud or as pretty as you know how. Gang singing is a lot more fun then you'll ever know
A E A D
unless you give it a whirl. So come on now, join me in the First Noel. If you don't know the words well,
A E A D
hum a little, tap your feet or gee whiz, do something! You ready?'
