Silver Bells – Dean Martin (1966)

{Songwriter(s): Jay Livingston, Ray Evans  (1950)}

[C,    F,    G,    C ]        repeat chords for whole song

C                                         F

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks,  Dressed in Holiday style

       G                        C

In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas

   Children laughing, people passing,  Meeting smile after smile

   And on every street corner you hear

[C,    F,    G,    C ]

Silver bells, silver bells,     It’s Christmas-time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, Soon it will be Christmas Day

Strings of streetlights, Even stop lights, Blink a bright red & green
As the shoppers rush Home with their treasures
   Hear the snow crunch, See the kids rush, This is Santa’s big day
   And above all this bustle you’ll hear

[chorus]

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks,  Dressed in Holiday style

In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing, Meeting smile after smile

Very soon it will be Christmas day
