or comments. Great song...good luck & merry xmas.

CAPO: II
Intro: A (hold)

Verse 1:
                                      
Call on your angels, come down to the city
                                               
Crowd around the big tree, all you strangers who know me.
                               
Bring your compassion, your understanding,
                                             
Lord, how we need it on this New York City Christmas.

Chorus:
                                               
And I'm sending you a Merry New York Christmas
                                                 
And a prayer for peace on Earth within our time.
                                  
Yeah, the sidewalk angels echo "Hallelujah",
                           
And we understand them, now more than ever.

Verse 2:
                                           
So call on your angels, you're beaten and broken
                                                       
It's time that we mend them, so they don't fade with the season
                                                     
Let our mercy be the gifts we lay, from Brookland to Broadway,
                                                          
And celebrate, each and every day of this New York City Christmas.

Chorus:
                                               
And I'm sending you a Merry New York Christmas
                                                 
And a prayer for peace on Earth within our time.
                                  
Yeah, the sidewalk angels echo "Hallelujah",
                           
And we understand them, now more than ever.

Verse 3:
                                         
So call on your angels, come down to the city,
                                                
Gather 'round the big tree, all you strangers who know me.
                                
Bring your compassion, bring your forgiveness,
                                              
Lord, how we need it on this New York City Christmas.

Chorus:
                                               
And I'm sending you a Merry New York Christmas
                                                 
 
And a prayer for peace on Earth, it's not too late.
                                  
Yeah, the sidewalk angels echo "Hallelujah",
                           
And we understand them, we hear them say...

Outro:
                                                           
Merry Christmas!  (New York Christmas)  Ah yeah.  (New York Christmas)  Yes,
                                                 (hold)
a New York City Christmas.  (New York Christmas)
