Artist: Danny Elfman
What's [C]this? What's this?
There's color every [B]where.
What's this?
There's white things in the [C]air
What's this?
I can't believe my[Em] eyes
I must be [Cmaj7]dreaming
Wake up, [Em]Jack, this isn't [B]fair
[G]What's [C]this?
What's this? What's this?
There's something very [B]wrong
What's this?
There's people singing [C]songs
What's this?
The streets are lined with
[Em]Little creatures [Cmaj7]laughing
Every[Em]body seems so [B]happy
Have I [Em]possibly gone [G7]daffy?
What is [F#]this?
[G7]What's [C]this?
There are [Am]children throwing snowballs here
Inst[Em]ead of throwing heads
They're [Am]busy building toys
And abso[Em]lutely no one's dead
There's [Gm]frost on every window
Oh, [Bbm]I can't believe my eyes
And [A]in my bones I feel the warmth
C#m A (May sound strange, but trust me.)
That's coming from inside
(MAJOR KEY CHANGE)
[A7]Oh, [D]look
What's this?
They're hanging mistle[C#]toe, they kiss
Why that looks so u[D]nique, inspired!
They're gathering a[F#]round to hear a [Dmaj7]story
Roasting [F#m6]chestnuts on a [C#]fire
[A7]What's [D]this?
What's this?
In here they've got a little [C#]tree, how queer
And who would ever [D]think
And why?
They're covering it with [F#m]tiny
little [Dmaj7]things They've got [F#m]electric lights on [C#]strings
And there's a [F#m]smile on every[A7]one
So, now, cor[D]rect me if I'm wrong
This looks [A]like [D]fun
This looks like [F#]fun
Oh, could it [Bm]be I got my wi[Bb]sh?
[A7]What's th[D]is?
Oh my, what now?
The children are [C#]asleep
But look, there's nothing under[D]neath
No ghouls, no witches here to [F#m]scream and scare them
[Dmaj7]Or ensnare them, [F#m]only little [C#]cozy things
Se[F#m]cure inside their [F#m6]dreamland

(Rest & Sigh)
[A7]What's t[D]his?
The mon[Bm]sters are all missing
And the [F#m]nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good [F#m]feeling all around
Ins[Am]tead of screams, I swear
I can hear [Cm]music in the air
The [B]smell of cakes and pies
Is abso[Ebm]lutely everyw[Bb]here
The s[Eb]ights, the sounds
They're everywhere and [D]all around
I've never felt so [Eb]good before
This empty place in[Gm]side of me i[Ebmaj7]s filling up
I [Gm6]simply cannot [D]get enough
I [Gm]want it, oh, I [Bb7]want it
Oh, I [A]want it for my own
I've got to [Eb]know
I've got to [G7]know
What is this [Cm]place that I have [B]found?
(Big) [Ebm]WHAT [B]IS [C]THIS?!

Christmas Town, hmm...
There's color every [B]where.
What's this?
There's white things in the [C]air
What's this?
I can't believe my[Em] eyes
