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.
