And so this is Christmas
                   Em
And what have you done
              A
Another year over
                      D     D7
And a new one just begun
                G
And so this is Christmas
                 Am
I hope you have fun
                  D
The near and the dear ones
                 G      G7
The old and the young
 
{Chorus}
              C
A very merry Christmas
                 D
And a happy New Year
                   Am        C
Let's hope it's a good one
    D7       G
Without any fear
 
                D
And so this is Christmas
                  Em
For weak and for strong
                  A
For rich and the poor ones
                D     D7
The road is so long
              G
And so happy Christmas
                   Am
For black and for white
                D
For yellow and red ones
                    G      G7
Let's stop all the fight
 
{Chorus}
              C
A very merry Christmas
                 D
And a happy New Year
                   Am        C
Let's hope it's a good one
    D7       G
Without any fear
 
                D
And so this is Christmas
                   Em
And what have you done
              A
Another year over
                      D     D7
And a new one just begun

Thanks for posting! I'm a beginner and all I want right now is simple chords that I can play for family and friends. I'm sure the other versions will come, but for now I'm thankful to you for posting this, otherwise I would have one hell of a time figuring it out for myself! Merry Christmas :)
