Day After Christmas Chords

   
With Christmas coming up, I wanted to play this song as a special at church. But 
wasn't able to find any tabs or chords for it. So I was able to get 'em by ear. 
So, here it is. Any comments/corrections are more than welcomed. And if you're 
reading this during Christmas season, MERRY CHRISTMAS!


CAPO I

Intro
G,C,G,C
VERSE 1
Em               C      G           D
Here comes the letdown Christmas is over
Em              C            G            D
Here comes the meltdown, there goes the cheer
Em                    C          G           D
But before we have a breakdown, let us remember
    Am           G               C
The light of the world is still here

CHORUS
G   D  Am       C
Happy day after Christmas
G   D  Am       C
And merry rest of the year
G   D     Am           C
Even when Christmas is over

    Am           D              G
The light of the world is still here
                 C            
The light of the world


VERSE 2
Em     C          G         D
Come January I’m ready for summer
Em                C             G         D
The Super Bowl’s over and I’ll settle for spring
Em             C          G           D
Sometimes we all need a change in the weather
      Am                 G         C
But it won’t change the reason we sing

   Em             C          G            D
So take down the stockings, take back the sweaters
   Em             C          G            D
Take down the lights and the star and the tree
   Em                C             G         D
But don’t let this world take your joy after Christmas
      Am        G                C
Take joy to the world and just sing
