Gordon Downie
[Intro]
E   F#  B   F#
Oh, oh, ye--ah
E   F#  B   F#  G
Oh, oh, ye--ea--eah
B
Oh----
 
[Verse]
F#5
So this is your number, well, I just called to say hello
C#5                                        B5
I was blurting, you were blurting, we were talking in morse code
   F#5                 A5
We just got cut off or disconnected, I don't know
         D5        A5    C#5       B5    F#5
But it's Christmas time, Christmas time in Toronto
 
 
   F#5
We got this power to generalise when everything explodes
    C#5                           B5
The certainty of our unknown, your childrens' unknown
       F#5                             B5
You're going to let us in though you're technically closed
        D5        A5    C#5       B5    F#5
Must be Christmas time, Christmas time in Toronto
 
[Chorus]
D
Let's have a toast
A                       F#
To charity, wickedness, dope
  D
A toast
       A         E
To the day after tomorrow
 
F#  B         F#             E
Oh, yeah, the day after tomorrow
F#  B         F#             E
Oh, yeah, the day after tomorrow
F#  B         F#            G        B
Oh, yeah, the day after tomorrow
 
[Verse]
      F#5
You'd like to buy the drink a bar, take us all to the show
C#5                             B5
You're so full of cash tonight, you could buy the Pope
    F#5                       A5
You might as well try and get milk from your elbow
           D5         A5    C#5       B5    F#5
Though it's Christmas time, Christmas time in Toronto
 
F#5
With your dark epiphanies, your true lines and smoke
     C#5                  B5
Your glistening rails and streetcars all aglow
F#5                      A5
"Always the wind and the persistent snow
               D5                             A5
Gets into your eyes and your mouth and every fold of your coat"
    F#5                               A5
And everyone hates you but they don't know what I know
             D5        A5    C#5       B5      F#5
Besides it's Christmas time, Christmas time in Toronto
 
[Chorus]
D
Let's have a toast
A                       F#
To charity, fixedness,  hope
  D
A toast
       A         E
To the day after tomorrow
 
F#  B         F#             E
Oh, yeah, the day after tomorrow
F#  B         F#             E
Oh, yeah, the day after tomorrow
F#  B         F#            G        F#     B5
Oh, yeah, the day after tomorroooo---oow
