[Intro]
 
B
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
               E                       B
Call on your angels, come down to the city
                 F#                             B
Crowd around the big tree, all you strangers who know me.
              E                 B
Bring your compassion, your understanding,
              F#                              B
Lord, how we need it on this New York City Christmas.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          F#            E                B      E  B
And I'm sending you a Merry New York Christmas
        F#                 E                B     E  B
And a prayer for peace on Earth within our time.
             G#m                     E
Yeah, the sidewalk angels echo "Hallelujah",
           B                F#
And we understand them, now more than ever.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
                  E                         B
So call on your angels, you're beaten and broken
                 F#                                     B
It's time that we mend them, so they don't fade with the season
                       E                              G#m
Let our mercy be the gifts we lay, from Brookland to Broadway,
             F#                                            B
And celebrate, each and every day of this New York City Christmas.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          F#            E                B      E  B
And I'm sending you a Merry New York Christmas
        F#                 E                B     E  B
And a prayer for peace on Earth within our time.
             G#m                     E
Yeah, the sidewalk angels echo "Hallelujah",
           B                F#
And we understand them, now more than ever.

Gather 'round the big tree, all you strangers who know me.

And we understand them, we hear them say...
