C Chestnuts Froasting Gon an Copen fire,
C Jack Frost nipping at your Fnose, Fm
C yuletide Fmcarols being Csung by a F#mchoir
and folks dressed Fmup like BbEskiEbmos.
G Everybody Cknows
a Gturkey and some Cmistletoe, Gm C
F help to Emake the season Ambright, Fm
C tiny Bbtots with their Ceyes all agF#mlow,
will Emfind it Ahard to Dmsleep GtoCnight.
They know that GmSanCta’s on his Gmway?
C He’s loaded Gmlots of toys and Cgoodies on his Fsleigh.
Everybody’s Fmmother’s childBb is gonna Ebspy
to see if Amreindeers really Abknow how to Dmfly. G
And Cso I’m FofferiGng this Csimple phrase
to Ckids from Cone to ninety-Ftwo, Fm
altChough it’s been Fmsaid many Ctimes, many F#mways –
FMerry EmChristmas, Am
Merry EmChristmas, Am
Merry EmChristmas, Am Dm
Gto Cyou.
