City sidewalks, busy sidewalks

D D7 G C D
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
G G7/b
Children laughing, people passing
B7 C Am
Meeting smile after smile
D D7 G
And on every street corner you'll hear
G C Silver bells, silver bells D G It's Christmas time in the city G C Ring-a-ling, hear them ring D G Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of streetlights, even stoplights Blink a bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch This is Santa's big scene And above all this bustle you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day
