Christmas Like A Lullaby

Words & Music by John Denver
from Christmas Like A Lullaby (1990)


 D
Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land

A breeze upon the waters, rain fall on the sand
    Bm                          G          D
We celebrate a baby born from spirit into man

And Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land

  C   G   D

      A 
It's morning in Australia; In fact, it's Christmas day
                              Bm
And Colorado never seemed so very far away
                                
Back where night has fallen and it's still Christmas Eve
      G                                             D
And snow is in the mountains that I always hate to leave
     A
But here I am down under with a brand new family
                                      Bm
Christmas bells are ringing there's presents 'neath the tree
                                       G
I know that it's been said before and now I know it's true
                                       Gm                  D
That home is where the heart is and Christmas lives there too

   F#m   G   D

    A  
And on this morning Peace on Earth is still your fervent prayer
                                   Bm
And I can feel it being whispered softly everywhere
                                   G
And guns are called to silence and anger called to still
                                   Gm             D
And brotherhood and sisterhood surrounded by goodwill

    F#m   G   D


Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land

A breeze upon the waters, rain fall on the sand
    Bm                          G          D
We celebrate a baby aborn from spirit into man

And Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land

  C   G   D   C   G   D
