Intro: D-G-D-G-D
Fa[D]ctories are all shut down and the sh[G]opping malls are all c[D]losed
The busy streets are all em[A]pty except for the falling s[D]now
In the small towns, in the cities fa[G]milies gather as o[D]ne
'Cause the night of love and sh[A]aring they look forward to has c[D]ome
Chorus
Tonight is C[G]hristmas,[A] tonight is l[D]ove
To[Bm]night we c[G]elebrate God's [A]one and only [D]Son

Each believing in their ca[B]use enough to die or kill the other o[E]ne
