[Verse 1]
C                  G7           C
About three nights before every Christmas
     F        G7                   C
We'd load Mr. Bradley's truck with hay
  F         G7         C              Am
7:30 on the dot on the church parking lot
     D7                              G7
We'd pile in that old truck and ride away
 
[Verse 2]
C                    G7                C
Just a bunch of kids singing Christmas carols
       F        G7                C
To the hospital and the old folks home
F                 G7     C            Am
Sometimes we'd go in and sing 'em all again
     F               G7         C
To a shut in who was living all alone
 
[Chorus]
            G7     C         G7      C
Singing joy to the world the Lord is come
    F     G7          C
Let earth receive her king
       F              C      F             C
And at Christmas each year I still love to hear
                 G7           C    F C
The carols those kids used to sing
 
[Verse 3]
              G7        C
Then one year all of us decided
     F                    G7                C
Everyone would bring some food on Christmas Eve
         F               G7            C               Am
Bought a turkey and some toys for some underprivileged boys
    D7                          G7
Who lived with their grandma on relief
 
[Verse 4]
C                       G7            C
She had told them there wouldn't be a Christmas
        F             G7            C
And the look on their faces I still see
    F                G7           C               Am
I'm glad for what we did cause we made some happy kids
      F            G7                      C
Dance around where there might have been a tree
 
[Chorus]
            G7     C         G7      C
Singing joy to the world the Lord is come
    F     G7          C
Let earth receive her king
       F              C      F             C
And at Christmas each year I still love to hear
                 G7           C    F C
The carols those kids used to sing
 
[Chorus]
            G7     C         G7      C
Singing joy to the world the Lord is come
    F     G7          C
Let earth receive her king
       F              C      F             C
And at Christmas each year I still love to hear
                 G7           C    F C
The carols those kids used to sing
                 G7           C    F C
The carols those kids used to sing
