■ ■  ■ ■ 
                                    G   
And they'll lay you down low in the easy
        G                                    
And the lips that you kiss will say Christmas
        G                                   
And the miles that you traveled the distance


[Chorus]

So believe no lies ■ dry your eyes ■ and realize

■ That surprise ■
         C    G D     G       C  G     D G  C
La la la ■ la ■ la la ■ la la la la la ■ la ■

■ ■ And the businessmen will shake hands and talk in numbers
C         G                  C           G      
■ And the princess will wake up from her slumber
C              G                       C            G        
■ Then all the knights will step forth ■ with their arm bands
C           G                        C                G      
■ And every stranger you meet in the street will make demands
C             G    C          G         C     G      
So believe no lies ■ then dry your eyes ■ and realize

G7           C             D                G   
■  And we'll send you glad tidings from New York
C              D               G  
■ Open up your eyes so you may see
C                D                G     Em

[Verse]
    G                   C               G       C
And they'll talk to you while you're in trances ■
G                        C          G      
And you'll visualize not taking any chances
C               G       C                   G          C
■ But meet them halfway with love peace and persuasion ■
    G              C            G       
And expect them to rise for the occasion
C          G       C                          
■ Don't it gratify when you see it materialize
G     C                  G   
Right ■ in front of your eyes


[Chorus]

Hope that you will come in right on time
