	        Db6       Ebm7           Fm7      Gbmaj7 (Fm7 Ebm7)   
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,   
Db6        Abm7    Db7     Gbmaj7  B9   
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,   
Db6      B9           Bbm7      Gm7  Gb7   
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir   
    Fmaj7         F#m7    B9  Emaj7 Ebm7 D9           
And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody   
   
Db6     Ebm7            Fm7      Gbmaj7 (Fm7 Ebm7)          
knows a turkey and some mistletoe   
Db6     Abm7     Db7    Gbmaj7  B9   
Help to make the season bright.   
Db6  B9              Bbm7      Gm7  Gb7   
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow   
     Fm7     E9      Ebm7  D9 Db6   
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.   
   
               Abm7  Db7      Gbmaj7   
They know that Santa's on his way.   
            Abm7             Db7            Gbmaj7   
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh,   
          F#m7           B7       Emaj7   
And every mother's child is gonna spy   
          Eb7                         Ab7   
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.  
   
Db6        Ebm7          Fm7      Gbmaj7 (Fm7 Ebm7)   
And so I'm offering this simple phrase   
Db6        Abm7    Db7     Gbmaj7  B9   
To kids from one to ninety-two,   
  Db6              B9        Bbm7        Gm7  Gb7   
Although it's been said many times, many ways,   
      Fm7 E9 Ebm7 Ab7 Db6     
'Merry Christmas   to you.'
