Em  C  Em  C  Em  C  Em  C

[Verse]
       Em               C
It was on the stroke of midnight
       Em              C
On the final Christmas Eve
Em          C
People all around were saying
 Em            C
"What do you believe?"
Em                     C
Streets were laid with burnished gold
Em              C
Statues made of chrome
   Em               C
Up spoke the wicked messenger
        Em            C
"You're welcome to my home"

[Chorus]
G                          Am
Everything's going to be alright
Em                         C
Everything's going to be alright
G                          Am
Everything's going to be alright
Em                         C
Everything's going to be alright

[Instrumental]
C  Am  C    Em  C  Em  C  Em  C  Em  C

[Verse]
     Em              C
Then tempers started flaring
       Em            C
As the heat began to rise
Em                 C
Fields of corn and rapeseed
          Em                C
Turned to dust before their eyes
Em             C
People started blaming
    Em               C
The changing weather map
    Em              C
The chrome began to tarnish
    Em                C
The gold was sold for scrap

[Chorus]
G                          Am
Everything's going to be alright
Em                         C
Everything's going to be alright
G                          Am
Everything's going to be alright
Em                         C
Everything's going to be alright

[Instrumental]
C  Am  C    Em  C  Em  C  Em  C  Em  C

[Verse]
     Em              C
Then just before the end of time
    Em           C
The sun began to dim
Em            C
People of the world began
   Em            C
To sing a common hymn
    Em                C
The Muslim kissed the Hindu
    Em               C
The Hindu kissed the Jew
    Em                 C
The Jew kissed all the Buddhists
        Em                    C
And the Christians joined the queue

[Chorus]
G                          Am
Everything's going to be alright
Em                         C
Everything's going to be alright
G                          Am
Everything's going to be alright
Em                         C
Everything's going to be alright

[Chorus]
G                          Am
Everything's going to be alright
Em                         C
Everything's going to be alright
G                          Am
Everything's going to be alright
Em                         C
Everything's going to be alright
