Silver bells, silver bells

It’s Christmas time in the city

Hear the kids laugh

This is Santa’s big scene

And above all the glitter

You’ll hear

Silver bells, silver bells

It’s Christmas time in the city
C
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
D D7 G
Soon it will be Christmas day

Soon it will be Christmas day
