Christmas Time (Don't let the bells end)

This songs lyrics are hard to make out in the rocking original (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQhuoY5h2kE) but quite poignant when you read them. It can be covered with less rock too, here is an example with just piano: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8XPmxTsc5Q&list=FL2Az2fvu7SdV-aLys70PSXA&index=2

On the Uke, I do an into with A played by moving G up 2 frets, and then D on  the 5th fret with the A shape barred. If that makes no sense, never mind!

A                     E                                   F#min                                     D
Feigning joy and surprise at the gifts we despise over mulled wine with you

A                 E
On the 25th day of the 12th month                    

                             F#min           D
The sleigh bells are in time ringing true

Bmin                               A        Bmin    D
How we cling each Noel to that snowflake's hope in hell

E                  A C#min F#min
that it won’t end

A                  D     E
Don’t let the bells end

A  C#min F#min A                D    E
Christmas  time, just let them ring in peace.

A                
Well the weather is cruel,

E                                   F#min               D
and the season of Yule warms the heart, but it still hurts.

A                           E                                      F#min
You’ve got your career, spent the best part of last year apart

             D
and it still hurts

Bmin                 A           Bmin      D      
So that’s why I pray each and every Christmas day

E          A C#min F#min
that it won’t end

A                 D     E
Don’t let the bells end

A C#min F#min A                  D    E
Christmas  time, just let them ring in peace.

A                           D  E
(Christmas time, don’t let the bells end)

A                           D  E
(Christmas time, don’t let the bells end)

F#min                                     A            C#min
Dust underneath the mistletoe leaves when you’re not here,

F#min
You went away upon boxing day,

    E                    D                 A
Now how the hell am I gonna make it into the New Year?
