CAPO 1

C6C6    Dm7Dm7     E minor 7Em7    Fmaj7Fmaj7 (E minor 7Em7 Dm7Dm7)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
C6C6     Gm7Gm7   C7C7   Fmaj7Fmaj7 Bb9Bb9
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
C6C6    Bb9Bb9     Am7Am7    F#m7F#m7 F7F7
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
  EMaj7Emaj7     Fm7Fm7    Bb9Bb9 Ebmaj7Ebmaj7 Dm7Dm7 Db9Db9
And folks dressed up like Eskimos...............everybody

C6C6   Dm7Dm7       E minor 7Em7   Fmaj7Fmaj7 (E minor 7Em7 Dm7Dm7)
knows a turkey and some mistletoe
C6C6   Gm7Gm7   C7C7   Fmaj7Fmaj7 Bb9Bb9
Help to make the season bright
C6C6  Bb9Bb9       Am7Am7    F#m7F#m7 F7F7
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
   E minor 7Em7  Eb9Eb9   Dm7Dm7  Eb9Eb9 C6C6
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

Gm7Gm7 C7C7   Fmaj7Fmaj7
They know that Santa's on his way
      Gm7Gm7       C7sus-C7    Fmaj7Fmaj7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
     Fm7Fm7   Bb7sus-Bb7     Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
And every mother's child  is gonna spy
     D7D7             G7G7
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

C6C6    Dm7Dm7      E minor 7Em7     Fmaj7Fmaj7 (E minor 7Em7 Dm7Dm7)
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
C6C6      Gm7Gm7  C7C7   Fmaj7Fmaj7 Bb9Bb9
To kids from one to ninety-two
 C6C6        Bb9Bb9    Am7Am7    F#m7F#m7 F7F7
Although it's been said many times, many ways
   E minor 7Em7 Eb9Eb9 Dm7Dm7 G7G7 C6C6
Merry Christmas  to you
