From the album ”One More Drifter in the Snow” 2006
Capo 2
D Em F#m Bm
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
D D7 G Gm
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
D Gm D C#
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
F# C A A7 D
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
D Em F#m Bm
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
D D7 G Gm
Can help to make the season bright.
D Gm D C#
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
F#m Bm Em A D
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
D7 Am D7 Am
They know that Santa's on his way;
D7 Am D7 Am
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
Gm C F C#
And every mother's child is going to spy,
E7 Gm A A7
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
D Em F#m Bm
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
D D7 G Gm
To kids from one to ninety-two,
D Gm D C#
Although its been said many times, many ways,
F#7 Gm A Em6 D
Merry Christmas to you
