[Verse 1]
A C#m7 D
One Christmas many years ago when I was just a boy
A C#m7 D
I walked along those snowy streets, the windows full of toys
A C#m7 D D#dim
My mom and dad both held my hands, a crowd was up ahead
D Esus4 E
They gathered 'round a man who sang, and this is what he said
[Chorus]
A Bm7
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
F#m E D Dsus2
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company
A Bm7
I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand
F#m E D Dsus2
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land
[Verse 2]
A C#m7 D
Then all at once he disappeared within a flash of light
A C#m7 D
His tattered coat was left behind, his sleigh was taking flight
A C#m7 D D#dim
And I still hear that melody that echoed through the night
[Chorus]
A Bm7
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
F#m E D Dsus2
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company
A Bm7
I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand
F#m E D Dsus2
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land, sing it now
[Interlude]
F#m E D A
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
F#m E D A
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
C#7 F#m E
As a child I asked the man in red
D Dsus2
"Hey Santa, what's your Christmas wish?"
Dm
And this is what he said
[Chorus]
A Bm7
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
F#m E D
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company
A Bm7
I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand
F#m E D Dsus2
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land
[Outro]
