Christmas Shoes chords by FM Static

Chords with lyrics

I noticed there were only TABs for this song so I put it into chords to make it
easier to play (Well, sorrta)

Verse One
G+G       D MajorD
It was almost Christmas time,
G+G       C majorC
There I stood in another line
G+G         A augmentedA
Trying to buy the last gift or two,
G+G         D MajorD
Not really in the Christmas mood.
G+G       C majorC
Standing right in front of me
G+G      A augmentedA
Was a little boy waiting anxiously,
G+G         C majorC
Pacing round like little boys do,
G+G         A minorAm
And in his hands, were a pair of shoes.
G+G        D MajorD
And his clothes were worn and old.
G+G      C majorC
He was dirty from head to toe,
G+G        A augmentedA
And when it came his time to pay,
C majorC            D MajorD
I couldn't believe what I heard him say.

CHORUS
F minorFm
Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please.
E minorEm
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.
D MajorD
Could you hurry, Sir?
E minorEm
Daddy says there's not much time.
F minorFm
You see she's been sick for quite a while;
D MajorD
And I, know these shoes will make her smile.
E minorEm
And I, want her look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus tonight.
Verse Two
G+G           D MajorD
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
G+G           C majorC
Then the cashier said Son there's not enough here.
G+G        A augmentedA
He searched his pockets so frantically
G+G         D MajorD
Then he turned and he looked at me.
G+G         C majorC         F minorFm
He said Momma made Christmas good... At our house
G+G         A augmentedA
Though most years she just did without.
G+G       C majorC
Tell me, Sir, what am I gonna do?
G+G               A minorAm
Somehow I've got to buy these Christmas shoes!
G+G       D MajorD
So I laid the money down;
G+G   C majorC
I just had to help him out.
G+G           A augmentedA
I'll never forget the look on his face
C majorC          D MajorD
When he said Mommas gonna look so great!

Repeat Chorus

Verse Three
G+G          D MajorD
I knew that I got a glimpse of heavens love
G+G       C majorC
As he thanked me and ran out.
G+G               A augmentedA
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
G+G     D MajorD
Just what Christmas is all about.
G+G        C majorC
I got a glimpse of heavens love
G+G       A augmentedA
As he thanked me and ran out.
G+G            A minorAm
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
C majorC     D MajorD
Just what Christmas is all about.

Repeat Chorus two times

There it is. Pretty simple song but it is fun to rock out to in December!
**Do not forget to rate (even if you did not think it was a good job on my part.)**
