Biography:
Band Aid 20 was the 2004 incarnation of the charity group Band Aid. The group, which included Daniel Bedingfield, Justin Hawkins of The Darkness, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Bono of U2, and Paul McCartney, re-recorded the 1984 song "Do They Know It's Christmas?", written by Band Aid organizers Bob Geldof and Midge Ure.
The song was recorded on 14 November 2004, to benefit Sudan's troubled Darfur region, and was released that same month. The single became the UK's biggest seller of 2004 as well as the Christmas Number 1.[1]

It's Christmastime, there's no need to be afraid
|F |G |C |
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
|F |G |C |F
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
|Dm |G |C |
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime
|F |G |C |
But say a prayer, Pray for the other ones
|F |G |C |
At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
|F |G
There's a world outside your window
|C |F
And it's a world of dread and fear
|Dm |G
Where the only water flowing
|C |F
Is the bitter sting of tears
|Dm |G
And the Christmas bells that ring there
|C |F
Are the clanging chimes of doom
|Dm |G |C |
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
|F |G |C |
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
|F |G |C |
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life, Ohhhh
|F |G
Where nothing ever grows
|C |F
No rain nor rivers flow
|Dm |G |C |F C
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
|Am
Here's to you
|G
Raise a glass for everyone
|Am
Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
|G
If the table was turned would you survive
|Am
Here's to them
|G
Underneath that burning sun
|Am
You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless
|G
Give a little help to the helpless
