verse 1
  D MajorD    B minorBm   G+G     D MajorD
A augmentedA stranger came to old London town
 A augmentedA       D MajorD
On a Christmas morn?
     D MajorD     B minorBm     G+G      D MajorD
And his eyes were soft as the snow coming down
   A augmentedA         D MajorD
His smile as gentle as dawn

   B minorBm                F# minorF#m
All around there were bright Christmas windows
     F# minorF#m   C#7C#7     F# minorF#m
But he scarcely noticed their glow
      F# minorF#m     E MajorE    D MajorD      A augmentedA
?Cause his heart went out to a little match girl
 E7E7          A augmentedA   (A7A7)
Kneeling there in the snow

  D MajorD    G+G      D MajorD   E minorEm
Oh merry Christmas, oh merry Christmas
  B minorBm    F#7F#7   B minorBm   (A augmentedA)
Oh season of heavenly peace

verse 2
   D MajorD       B minorBm
Her clothes were threadbare
   G+G   D MajorD
And many a patch
 A augmentedA         D MajorD
Caught the wintery storm
     D MajorD     B minorBm      G+G     D MajorD
And her trembling fingers kept striking a match
 A augmentedA        D MajorD
Trying so to keep warm

      B minorBm             F# minorF#m
From each house she could hear happy voices
    F# minorF#m      C#7C#7      F# minorF#m
As the smoke from the chimneys would curl
    F# minorF#m       E MajorE       D MajorD      A augmentedA
But the doors were (a) barred and the hearts were closed
 E7E7         A augmentedA   (A7A7)
To the little match girl

  D MajorD    G+G      D MajorD   E minorEm
Oh merry Christmas, oh merry Christmas
  B minorBm    F#7F#7   B minorBm   (A augmentedA)
Oh season of heavenly peace

verse 3
   D MajorD     B minorBm      G+G      D MajorD
Her last match flickered due just a faint blow
    A augmentedA        D MajorD
When heaven heard her despair
     D MajorD    B minorBm     G+G       D MajorD
And the stranger fashioned a gown from the snow
  A augmentedA          D MajorD
A augmentedA cape of sunbeams to wear

     B minorBm           F# minorF#m
Then he cried as he cried once before
    F# minorF#m  C#7C#7   F# minorF#m
As he slowly took her away
   F# minorF#m       E MajorE    D MajorD    A augmentedA
Oh forgive them they know not what they do
 E7E7           A augmentedA  (A7A7)
But they will know some day

  D MajorD    G+G      D MajorD   E minorEm
Oh merry Christmas, oh merry Christmas
  B minorBm    F#7F#7   B minorBm
Oh season of heavenly peace
