John Lennon – Happy Xmas (War Is Over)  

(Album: John Lennon Anthology)  (1971)

             A                                Bm

So this is Christmas    And what have you done

             E                                 A

Another year over       And a new one just begun

                 D                         Em

and so this is Christmas     I hope you have fun

                    A                                   D

The near and the dear one The old and the young

              G                                       A

A very merry Christmas, & a happy New Year

                       Em                                D

Let’s hope it’s a good one    Without any fear

             A                                Bm

So this is Christmas    For weak and for strong

             E                                 A

For rich and the poor ones  The world is so wrong

               D                             Em

And so happy Christmas    For black and for white

                   A                                 D

For yellow and red ones     Let’s stop all the fight

[Chorus]

              A                               Bm

So this is Christmas    And what have we done

             E                                 A

Another year over       And a new one just begun

                 D                         Em

and so this is Christmas     I hope you have fun

                    A                                   D

The near and the dear one The old and the young

[Chorus]

              A            Bm              E         A

War is over   If you want it,       War is over….      Now…
