Intro: G  D/F#   A/D   D 


verse 1 
         G       D/F#        A        D 
Well I walked to town in the pouring rain 
        G            A/D       D 
Paid my fare and I rode that train 
        G       A        D 
To the station under the avenue 
         G/D                  D 
Hit the air at the stroke of noon 
        G             D/F#     A        D 
At the cross streets where I staked my claim 
     G       G/D          A       D 
I played in tune with the winter rain 
    G      A          D 
Collecting dimes and dollar bills 
          G      G/D      A         D 
While the noisy traffic played the fills 


         G        D/F#        A 
And its Christmas time in the city 
         G        D/F#        A 
When the air is filled with cheer 
         G        D/F#        A           D       G 
And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year 

G  D/F#   A/D   D 


verse 2 
        G         D/F#            A        D 
Well the vendors huddled and the taxis honked 
       G        A/D                     D 
As I played for change beneath the neon clock 
        G          A               D 
I was dressed up looking like a Christmas tree 
        G/D                  D 
Blinking down on that busy street 
        G             D/F#          A        D 
When the crowd thinned out and the rain had quit 
    G       G/D     A       D 
And my fingers felt cold and stiff 
    G      A          D 
I took their money and I closed my case 
         G      G/D      A         D 
And I headed back towards home again 

 
         G        D/F#        A 
And its Christmas time in the city 
         G        D/F#        A 
When the air is filled with cheer 
         G        D/F#        A           D       G 
And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year 

    D/F#   A/D   D 


verse 3 
        G       D/F#        A        D 
As I walked back to the subway stairs 
       G            A/D       D 
I had twenty eight dollars in change for fare 
       G             A              D 
There was an old bag lady with an outstretched hand 
       G/D                  D 
And a small Salvation Army band 
        G       D/F#      A        D 
Playing Angels We Have Heard on High 
   G       G/D          A       D 
The First Noel and O Holy Night 
   G      A          D 
I folded up one dollar bill 
        G       D/F#   A       D        
And I tucked it down into the till 

 
         G        D/F#        A 
And its Christmas time in the city 
         G        D/F#        A 
When the air is filled with cheer 
         G        D/F#        A           D       G 
And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year

When the air is filled with cheer 
         G        D/F#        A           D       G 
And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year
