The Christmas Song

4 7 -7 -6 7 -5 5 6 5
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,

4 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4
Jack Frost nipping at your nose.

4 4 -4 4 -4 5 6 -6 -7
Yuletime carols being sung by a choir

-6 6 5 -6 6 -5 -3 4
And folks dressed up like Eskimoes.

6 -5 5 -4 4 7 -7-6 6 -5 5 6 5
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

-4 4 -6 6-55-4 4
Helps make the season bright.

4 4 -4 4 -4 5 6 -6-7
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

-6 6 5 -6 6 -5 -3 4
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

4 4 4 -7 -6 6 -5 6
They know that Santa’s on his way.

4 4 4 -7 -6 6 -5 6 -5 5 -6
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his

6 4 4 4 7 -7 6 5 -4 4 -4
sleigh. And ev’ry mother’s child is gonna spy

4 -4 4 -3-3 4 3 -3 -3 -3 6
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

4 4 7 -7 -6 6 -5 5 6 5
And so I’m offering this simple phrase

-4 4 -7 7 -5 5 -4 4
To kids from two to ninety-two–

4 4 4 4 -4 4 -4 5 6 -6 -7
Although it’s been said many times, many ways–

7 -6 6 4 -4 4
Merry Christmas to you.
