G G6 C Am Am7 Dm7 G7
Frosted window panes, candles gleeming inside,
Cm7 Cm7/6 Dm7 G7
Painted candy canes on the tree;
C Am Dm7 G7
Santa's on his way, he's filled his sleigh
Cm7 Am Dm7 G7
With things, things for you and for me.
G G6 C Am Am7 Dm7 G7
It's that time of year when the world falls in love;
Cm7 Cm7/6 Dm7 G7
Ev'ry song you hear seems to say,
C9 Am Dm7 G7 Gdim A7
"Merry Christmas! May your New Year dreams come true."
Dm7 G7 Cm7 Am7
And this song of mine in three-quarter time
Dm7 G7 Dm7 G6 C
Wishes you and yours the same thing, too.
