      D              D7
City sidewalk, busy sidewalks
            G        Em
dressed in holiday style.
       A       
In the air there's
   A7           D       A
a feeling of Christmas.

          D                D7
Children laughing, people passing,
          G          Em
meeting smile after smile,
       A             A7            D    A
And on every street corner you'll hear:

 D             G
Silver bells, silver bells,
A               A7          D    A
It's Christmas time in the city.
 D            G
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
 A            A7           D
soon it will be Christmas day.

        D                  D7
City street lights, even stop lights,
          G             Em
blink a bright red and green,
         A            A7
As the shoppers rush home
             D          A
with their treasures.

           D                   D7
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch,
         G            Em
This is Santa's big scene,
      A             A7            D    A
And above all this bustle you'll hear:

 D             G
Silver bells, silver bells,
A               A7          D    A
It's Christmas time in the city.
 D            G
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
 A            A7           D
soon it will be Christmas day.
