The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole

A          Bm7           C#m  Dmaj7       (Bm7)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

A           Em7  / A7     Dmaj7             (G7)
Jack Frost nipping at your nose

A         G7               A    Ebm7     (D7)
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

C#m          Dm7 G7  Cmaj7   Bm7      Dm
And folks dressed up like Eskimos...... everybody

A     Bm7        C#m    Dmaj7     (Bm7)
knows a turkey and some mistletoe

A       Em7  /   Fmaj    Dmaj7        (G7)
Help to make the season bright

A     G7             A       (Ebm7 / D7)
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

C#m        Cmaj   Bm7   Dm          A
Will find it hard to sleep to....     night


Em7     A7     Dmaj7
They know that Santa’s on his way

Em7        A7             Dmaj7
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

Dm7               G7           Cmaj7
And every mother’s child is gonna spy

B7                          E7
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

A      Bm7                C#m    Dmaj7    (Bm7)
And so I’m offering this simple phrase

A            Em7 /  A7    Dmaj7        (G7)
To kids from one to ninety-two

A         G7                  A          (Ebm7 / D7)
Although it’s been said many times, many ways

C#m / Cmaj7 /     Bm7       E7 / A
 Merry Christmas........... to.. you           {on (A) strum slowly to fade}
