And they'll lay you down low and easy.
And the lips that you kiss will say "Christmas".
And demand that you travel the distance.
So believe no [(G)]lies,
[C] Dry your[G] eyes

[D] That surp[G]rise

[G] La, la, la, la

Then all the kn[G]ights will step forth [C] with their [G]arm bands[C]
And every str[G]anger you meet in the str[C]eet will make dem[G]ands[C]
