C6C6     Dm7Dm7       E minor 7Em7    Fmaj7Fmaj7  E minor 7Em7 Dm7Dm7 Cmaj7Cmaj7
  Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dm7Dm7     E7E7+5      Am7Am7 Bb9Bb9
Jack  Frost nipping   at your nose
 C6C6      Bb9Bb9 Cmaj7Cmaj7          F#m7F#m7  F7-9 EMaj7Emaj7
  Yuletide carols    being sung by a choir
       Fm7Fm7 Bb7-9 Ebmaj7Ebmaj7   Dm9Dm9 Db7Db7+9
Folks dressed up  like  Eskimos

 verse #2 :

     Cmaj7Cmaj7 Dm7Dm7      E minor 7Em7     Fmaj  Fmaj7Fmaj7 E minor 7Em7 Dm7Dm7 Cmaj7Cmaj7
Everybody knows   a turkey and some mistletoe
    Dm7Dm7  E7E7+9    Am7Am7 Bb9Bb9 C6C6
Help to make the  season bright
   Bb9Bb9       Cmaj7Cmaj7   F#m7F#m7  F7-9
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
   E minor 7Em7   Eb9Eb9   Dm7Dm7  Db7Db7+9   C6C6
Will find it hard to sleep    tonight


 Bridge :

        Gm7Gm7   C9C9     Fmaj7Fmaj7
They know that Santa's    on his way
   Gm7Gm7      C9C9            Fmaj7Fmaj7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
       Fm7Fm7     Bb9Bb9     Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
And every mother's child    is gonna    spy
     Am7Am7   D7D7     Ab7-5 G7G7     G7-9
To see if reindeer   really know how to fly


 verse #3 :

  C6C6   Dm7Dm7    E minor 7Em7        Fmaj7Fmaj7   Fmaj7Fmaj7 E minor 7Em7 Dm7Dm7 Cmaj7Cmaj7
And so we're offering   this simple phrase
    Dm7Dm7  E7E7+9   Am7Am7   Bb9Bb9
To kids from  one to ninety-two
C6C6           Bb9Bb9   Cmaj7Cmaj7   Am7Am7
   Although it's been said     many times
   F#m7F#m7  F7-9    E minor 7Em7 Eb9Eb9 Dm7Dm7 Db7Db7+9   C majorC
Many ways,    Merry Christmas       to you
