If Everyone Believed Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
It [D]was 1983
[A]On a snowy Christmas Eve
With my fam[Bm]ily
And [Em]the Christmas [G]tree and lights

[Verse 2]
[G][D]
That was when it all went wrong
[G]Som[D]eone tur[A]ned the TV on
And the [Bm]evening news
Broad[Em]cast the blues that [G]night

[Verse 3]
But my [Bm]dad saw my desp[G]air
He put his [Bm]arm around me t[G]here
He said, [E]"Let me [F#m]tell you t[E]his
It's my [A]lifelong [G]Christmas [A]wish"
He said

[Verse 4]
If [G]everyone believed
[D]Oh, what a hap[G]py
place it would [D]be
We'd live in [Em]peace on earth
as a [Bm]great big fam[A]ily
If everyone believed
[D]

[Verse 5]
Now the years have come and [G]gone
[D]But[G] that Chr[A]istmas wish lives on
It's the [Bm]thing I pray
When [Em]the hol[G]idays draw near

[Verse 6]
You see [D]the news is still real sad
[G]And peo[D]ple, the[A]y're both good and bad[D]
[A]But you jus[Bm]t might cope
If [Em]you spread some [G]hope and cheer

[Verse 7]
So as [Bm]we sing 'Joy To [G]The Earth'
And celeb[Bm]rate the Savior's [G]birth
I pull [Em]my family [F#m]close to [E]me
And tell them [A]how the [G]world could [A]be

[Verse 8]
If [G]everyone believed
[D]Oh, what a hap[G]py place it would be[D]
[Bm]We'd live in peace[Em] on earth
as a [Bm]great big [A]family
If everyone believed
[D]

[Verse 9]
And I [Bm]know that it's
[D]easy to [G]say[D]
[Bm]Oh, but I'm gonna dream
[D]it [A]any[G]way[Bm][D]
'Cause [Em]a dream becomes a song
And when [G]we sing it we pass it on
[A]

[Verse 10]
[Bm]
[E]If [A]everyone believed
[E]Oh, what a hap[A]py
place it would [E]be
We'd live in [F#m]peace on earth
as a [C#m]great big fam[B]ily
[E]If [A]everyone [E]believed,
[A]if [E]eve[F#m]ryone [C#m]believ[B]ed[E]

[Outro 1]
