Intro: 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 
Helps 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 
For 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 
For 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
