(Intro: Clean acoustic guitar begins with a steady, warm, fingerpicked rhythm. A light, airy guitar melody plays the traditional tune, setting a cozy and inviting atmosphere.) (Verse 1) (G)We wish you a Merry Christmas, (C)We wish you a Merry (G)Christmas, (D)We wish you a Merry Christmas, (G)And a Happy New Year. (G)May the season bring you peace now, (C)may the feeling settle deep, (D)May the promises you've carried (G)be the ones you finally keep. (G)No need for the loud voices, (C)no need for the frantic pace, (D)Just the quiet, simple kindness (G)shining in this place. (Verse 2) (G)Good tidings we bring (C)to you and your kin, (D)Good tidings for Christmas (G)and a Happy New Year. (G)We haven't got the figgy pudding, (C)we haven't got the grandest spread, (D)But we got the honest friendship (G)and the words that must be said. (G)We stand here in the cold air, (C)but the warmth is in the soul, (D)Hoping that this moment (G)can finally make you whole. (Acoustic Guitar Interlude: The guitar plays a simple, melodic picking pattern, emphasizing the G-C-D progression, maintaining the calm mood.) (Verse 3) (G)We won't go until we get some, (C)We won't go until we (G)get some, (D)We won't go until we get some, (G)So bring some out here! (G)We're not asking for the silver, (C)we're not asking for the gold, (D)Just a simple sharing of the stories (G)that the long days have told. (G)So let the fires burn bright now, (C)and let the worry fade away, (D)And feel the easy comfort (G)of this Christmas day. (Outro) (The guitar strumming softens and slows down, letting the final chords ring.) (G)We wish you a Merry Christmas... (C)And a Happy New Year... (D)From the heart... (G)And everywhere. (The final chord fades slowly into complete silence.)
