 verse #1 :

C6         Dm7              Em7        Fmaj7   Em7 Dm7 Cmaj7
   Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Cmaj7  Dm7          E7+5           Am7  Bb9
Jack   Frost nipping      at your nose
 C6           Bb9  Cmaj7                   F#m7   F7-9 Emaj7
    Yuletide carols        being sung by a choir
              Fm7  Bb7-9  Ebmaj7      Dm9  Db7+9
Folks dressed up   like   Eskimos

 verse #2 :

          Cmaj7  Dm7            Em7          Fmaj    Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 Cmaj7
Everybody knows      a turkey and some mistletoe
        Dm7    E7+9        Am7  Bb9  C6
Help to make the    season bright
     Bb9             Cmaj7     F#m7   F7-9
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
     Em7     Eb9     Dm7   Db7+9     C6
Will find it hard to sleep        tonight


 Bridge :

                Gm7      C9         Fmaj7
They know that Santa's       on his way
     Gm7            C9                       Fmaj7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
             Fm7          Bb9          Ebmaj7
And every mother's child       is gonna       spy
          Am7      D7          Ab7-5 G7          G7-9
To see if reindeer      really know  how to fly


 verse #3 :

    C6      Dm7       Em7                Fmaj7      Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 Cmaj7
And so we're offering      this simple phrase
        Dm7    E7+9     Am7      Bb9
To kids from   one to ninety-two
C6                      Bb9     Cmaj7      Am7
     Although it's been said         many times
     F#m7   F7-9        Em7  Eb9  Dm7  Db7+9      C
Many ways,        Merry Christmas             to you
