The Christmas Song

The Swings

C		 d7      G7	 C d7 G7
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
C		 C7             F E7
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
a	     Fdim	       C   C/B B7
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
      E		   Bb	          G G7
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
G          C       d7    G7	    C       d7 G7
Everybody 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
      e7     A7      d7    G7 C
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

                    g7 C9          g7  C9
R: They know that Santa's on his way
   		    g7		        C9           Fmaj7
   He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
             f7             Bb9         c c7
   And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy
             a7              D7-5	 G7
   To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

C		 d7      G7	 C d7 G7
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
     C	    C7		    F   Bb9
For kids from one to ninety-two
    a7              Fdim       C    C/B  Cdim
Although it's been said many times, many ways,
 Fdim  C        a7 d7  G7  C
Merry Christmas    to you.
