intro: C F C  

The ol log is burnin' 
  D         D7 
Yellow and red 
  F              G 
Small eyes are fightin' 
     C 
That ol' sleepy head 
   F            G 
Stockin's are filled 
         E          Am         D 
While stories of goodwill are told 
                    G 
At the edge of the bed.

Like the ones in my memory. 

Now the gifts are all open 
     D           D7 
The kids in the yard 
    F          G         C 
Granddad nods off in a chair 
          F                G7 
And the smells from the kitchen 
    E            Am 
Are to fine to mention 
              D 
And there's peace 
              G 
On Earth everywhere. 
         F   G      C 
It's an old time Christmas 
  F          G                 C 
Family and friends 'round the tree

Like the ones in my memory. 
  Bb           F 
Church bells ringin' 
  G      C 
Choirs singin'  
    Bb              F           G 
everywhere there's love in the air 
         F   G      C 
It's an old time christmas
