	        Introdução: C7M G4/7/9 G7/9-  

C		 Dm7     G7      C Dm7 G7  
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. 
C		 C7	      F E7  
Jack Frost nipping at your nose.  
Am	    Fdim	       C   C/B B7  
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir  
      E		   Bb	         G G7  
And folks dressed up like Eskimos. 
  
G          C       Dm7   G7	    C        Dm7 G7  
Ev'rybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe  
   C	C7	       F  Bb7/9  
Help to make the season bright.  
C   G			 C    C/B Cdim  
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow  
      Em7     A7      Dm7  G7    C   
Will find it hard to sleep tonight. 
  
	          Gm7 C7/9              Gm7 C7/9  
They know that Santa's on his way.  
		  Gm7		     C7/9          F7M  
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh,  
           Fm7		     Bb7/9         Cm Cm7  
And ev'ry mother's child     is gonna spy  
          Am7             D5-/7	    G7  
To see if reindeer really know how to fly. 

    C	 Dm7        G7    C            Dm7 G7  
And so I'm offering this simple phrase  
     C	    C7		    F   Bb7/9  
To kids from one to ninety-two,  
    Am7             Fdim       C    C/B  Cdim  
Although it's been said many times, many ways:  
Fdim  C	  Am7  Dm7  G7  C        
'Merry Christmas  to    you.' 
  
	       Gm7 C7/9          Gm7 C7/9  
They know that Santa's on his way.  
		  Gm7		     C7/9          F7M  
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh,  
           Fm7		     Bb7/9         Cm Cm7  
And ev'ry mother's child     is gonna spy  
          Am7             D5-/7	    G7  
To see if reindeer really know how to fly. 

  
    C 	 Dm7     G7       C              Dm7 G7  
And so I'm offering this simple phrase  
      C		C7	       F  Bb7/9  
To kids from one to ninety-two,  
    Am7		     G7		C     C/B  Cdim  
Although it's been said many times, many ways:  
Fdim  C	  Am7  Dm7 G7 C C/B Bb7/9  
:Merry Christmas   to you.  
Cdim	 C	  Am7  Dm7 G7 C  
Merry Christmas  to  you.'
