Chorus 1
E
B7 E
It's Merry Christmas or is it? I miss it
Em B7
Cosy hugs and kisses
B7 E
It's Merry Christmas or is it? we wish it
Em B7
(to be) closer than it is
Verse 1
Am B7
there's no sharing or caring up close …. this year
Am B7
Right now, we try hard with all our might - not to fear
Chorus 2
B7 E
It's Merry Christmas or is it? we wish it
Em B7
that we could be close up
B7 E
It's Merry Christmas or is it? We wish it
Em B7
for the virus to finally stop
Verse 2 extended
Am B7
there is no end to our imagination
Am B7
there is no end to our creation
Am
so we must travel in our minds
B7
we must create so we’ll find
C
the joy that lies within
Gº F# B7
There’s no endings it just begins
Chorus 3
B7 E
It's Merry Christmas or is it? we wish it
Em B7
if we fill up our souls
B7 E
it's Merry Christmas or is it? we wish it
Em B7
if we reach our goals
Inst: over chorus chord2
B, G,,, B G
(Singing note begins on B)
B G
we now can't hug each other
B G
we now can't see sister or brother
B G
we now can't share as we would
D C2 D C˚ F#7 B7
but we can find bliss if only we could:
B7 E
It's Merry Christmas, yes it is.
Em B7
If we visualise our future in (full) colour
B7 E
It's Merry Christmas yes it is.
Em B7
where we've reached our goals
Em B7
Filling up our souls
Em B7
Loved all beings and another
Em B7
Family and sister and brother
Em B7
Only with love we bother
Am
Only then we can say:
B7 E
Merry Christmas, ho ho ho , hurray! Yes it it, yes it is….
