G         Em                  Bm7  C  D  C  G 
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, 
           Em              C    C  Bm7  C  G 
Jack Frost nipping at your nose, 
         Bm7          Em        D 
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, 
    Bm7           C       D 
And folks dressed up like Eskimos. 


          G       Em              Bm7       C  D  C  G 
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, 
        Em              C      C  Bm7  C  G 
Help to make the season bright. 
     Bm7             Em       D 
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, 
     C               Bm7   G 
Will find it hard to sleep tonight. 


               F              G 
They know that Santa's on his way; 
             F                     F              G 
He's loading lots of toys and many goodies on his sleigh. 
          Bm7      C                 G 
And every mother's child is gunna to spy, 
          A                           D 
To see if reindeer really know how to fly. 


    G      Em            Bm7          C  D  C  G 
And so I'm offering this simple phrase, 
             Em            C  C  Bm7  C  G 
To kids from one to ninety-two, 
                  Bm7       Em          D 
Although its been said many times, many ways, 
      C            D  G 
Merry Christmas to you
