The Christmas Song


Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
  1   4   -4  -3   3  -2  2 3  2

Jack Frost nipping at your nose
 1    -3    3  -2  2   -1   1

Yultide carols being sung by a choir
 1  1   -1 -1   1 -1  2   3 -3  -4

And folks dressed up like Eskimos
 -3   3*     3*  -3*  3*  3  -2  3


Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
3 -2 2 -1   1   4 -4 -3   3   -2  2   3  2

Helps to make the season bright
  1   -3   3  -2   2 -1    1

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
1  1  -1   1    -1    2    3  -3 -4

Will find it hard to sleep tonight
 -3   3   2   -3  3    1   -1   1


They know that Santa's on his way
 1    1    1   -3* -3  3  -2   3

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
  1   1  1   -3* -3* -3* -3* -3* -3  3  -2    3

And every mother's child is gonna spy
 1  1  1    3* -3*   3*  3  2* -1* 2*

To see if reindeer really know how to fly
-1* 2* -1* -1  -1  -1   1  -1  -1  1  -1


And so I'm offering this simple phrase
 1  1   4  -4 -3  3   -2  2  3    2

To kids from one to ninety-two
 1   1   -3   3  -2  2 -1   1

Although it's been said many times, many ways
 1   1    1    1    -1  1 -1   2    3 -3  -4

Merry Christmas to you
 4 -3   3   1   -1  1
