Happy Christmas (War Is Over)
By John Lennon
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
/ D - / Em - / A7 - / D - / G - / Am - / D - / G - /
{Refrain}
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
/ C - / Dm - / Am C / G A7 /
And so this is Christmas War is over
For weak and for strong If you want it
For rich and the poor ones War is over
The road is so long Now
And so happy Christmas War is over
For black and for white If you want it
For yellow and red ones War is over
Let's stop all the fight Now
{Refrain}
And so this is Christmas War is over
And what have we done If you want it
Another year over War is over
And a new one just begun Now
And so happy Christmas War is over
I hope you have fun If you want it
The near and the dear one War is over
The old and the young Now
{Refrain}
War is over if you want it
War is over now

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

---------------------------------------------
I am spending Christmas day with my family of choice at the home of my oldest son, William, his lovely, and intelligent, wife Tomi, and their beautiful son, Elliot. I am so blessed to be both a father, and a grandfather; those are the greatest gifts that Santa ever gave me. I hope that your Christmas, as every day, is full of love.
