Verse 1:
       A augmentedA               D MajorD       E MajorE
It was the night before Christmas, it was love at first sight
    A augmentedA          D MajorD         E MajorE
The carolers sang as they danced through the night
      A augmentedA             D MajorD    E MajorE
She was a small town girl, he was a traveling guy
      A augmentedA             D MajorD        E MajorE
He never caught her name before they said their goodbyes
A augmentedA              D MajorD      E MajorE
A augmentedA couple years later he was out on the road
A augmentedA               D MajorD   E MajorE
Having Christmas dinner in a diner alone
     A augmentedA              D MajorD      E MajorE
When he saw a young waitress with a gleam in her eye
       A augmentedA               D MajorD       E MajorE
Her favorite day of the year she showed her spirits were high
     D MajorD             A augmentedA    E MajorE
She said sir can you shed a little holiday cheer
A augmentedA                   D MajorD     E MajorE
A augmentedA simple Christmas story was all she wanted to hear
       A augmentedA             D MajorD     E MajorE       A augmentedA
He looked prepared with a smile as he started to say here's my favorite
             E MajorE
Christmas story about a girl with no name

 A augmentedA  E MajorE  A augmentedA

Chorus 2:

He said I met her up in Delaware in 1937
A augmentedA                D MajorD        E MajorE
She was wearing red lipstick to match her pretty dress
A augmentedA          D MajorD      E MajorE      A augmentedA
December 24th at a quarter till eleven is when I
                E MajorE     A augmentedA
finally gained the courage to ask her to dance

Verse 2:
    A augmentedA           D MajorD
Every holiday season as he traveled he'd
E MajorE        A augmentedA

         D MajorD      E MajorE
partner that he never knew well
    A augmentedA                D MajorD     E MajorE
He'd share his favorite story with the locals he met
     A augmentedA                E MajorE     A augmentedA
He was called the Christmas story tellin traveling man

A augmentedA  E MajorE  A augmentedA

A augmentedA         D MajorD      E MajorE
By age 53 he had done settled down
A augmentedA                  D MajorD     E MajorE
All the neighborhood kids liked to gather around
       A augmentedA                   D MajorD      E MajorE
Just to listen to his stories about his life on the road
A augmentedA              E MajorE     A augmentedA
All he had now were these children he told
   D MajorD              A augmentedA     E MajorE
And every Christmas eve they showed up before dark
 A augmentedA                 D MajorD      E MajorE
He'd tell them all the story but they knew it by heart
      A augmentedA               D MajorD     E MajorE
They could quote it word for word, he always told it the same.
            A augmentedA            E MajorE
It was his favorite Christmas story called the girl with no name

Verse 3:
A augmentedA            D MajorD       E MajorE
Twenty years later as he took his last breath
       A augmentedA             D MajorD    E MajorE
It was on a cold Christmas morning on a hospital bed
    A augmentedA           D MajorD    E MajorE
The children were grown, he had nobody left
       A augmentedA            E MajorE
Except the little old nurse who was holding his hand
        D MajorD                   A augmentedA     E MajorE
He said Ma'am can you share a little holiday cheer
  A augmentedA                D MajorD   E MajorE
A augmentedA simple Christmas story was all he wanted to hear
     A augmentedA               D MajorD     E MajorE
But his eyes filled with tears at the words that she spoke
           A augmentedA          E MajorE
Because his favorite Christmas story was the one that she told


Chorus 3:
      A augmentedA            D MajorD  E MajorE
She said I met him up in Delaware in 1937
     A augmentedA              D MajorD     E MajorE
Though I never caught his name he was a traveling man
  A augmentedA         D MajorD   E MajorE
December 24th at a quarter till eleven
    A augmentedA           E MajorE     A augmentedA
I'm so glad he got the courage to ask me to dance.
