The Christmas Song

C		 Dm7     G7	 C          Dm7   G7
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,

C		 C7			   F      E7
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,

Am	    Fdim	       C   C/B     B7
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,

      E		   Bb			 G(III)     -   G7
And folks dressed up like Eskimos;

G          C       Dm7   G7	    C           Dm7   G7
Ev'rybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

   C		C7			  F       Bb9
Helps to make the season bright;

 C   G			 C    C/B Cdim
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

      Em7     A7      Dm7  G7    C 
Will find it hard to sleep to - night.


	          Gm7 C9              Gm7   C9
They know that San  -  ta's on his way,

		  Gm7		     C9             FM7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh;

           Fm7		     Bb9          Cm   Cm7
And ev'ry mother's child     is gonna spy

          Am7             D7-5	    G7
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.


    C	 Dm7        G7	      C              Dm7   G7
And so I'm of - fer - ing this simple phrase,

     C	    C7		    F       Bb9
For kids from one to ninety-two,

    Am7             Fdim       C    C/B  Cdim
Although it's been said many times, many ways,

 Fdim  C	  Am7  Dm7  G7  C      
Merry Christmas       to you.
