The Christmas Song

By Christmas

christmas

C         Dm6            Em             Am
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
C       C6         C7      Fmaj       E7
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Am       Fm           C         B7
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
    Emaj7         Bb      G       G7         C
And folks dressed up like Eskimos, everybody knows

C  Dm6            Em        Am
A turkey and some mistletoe,
C        C6      C7     Fmaj7   E7
Help to make the season bright.
Am    Fm             C           B7
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
     Em      Am      Dm6 G  C
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

C7             Gm    C        F Am7
They know that Santa's on his way;
            Gm               C              F   Am7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
          Fm           Bb            Eb B
And every mother's child is going to spy,
          D7              Fm6         G      G7
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

    C      Dm6           Em                  Am
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
      C        C6      C7  F        E7
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Am                Fm        C           B7
Although its been said many times, many ways,
      E7 Fm G   Dm6 C
Merry Christmas to you
