🎄 Verse 1:
  C majorC        FF        G+G           C majorC
The winter's flaking snow is brushing through the pine wood trees
 FF          C majorC       G+G
I stuck my hands down deep inside my coat
 FF        G+G        C majorC         FF
I think of years ago and half remembered Christmas trees
  C majorC        FF         G+G
And faces that still warm me with their glow

🎄 Verse 2:
  C majorC       FF       G+G        C majorC
The cold and empty evening hangs around me like a ghost
 FF      C majorC        G+G
I listen to my footsteps in the snow
  FF        G+G          C majorC          FF
The sound of one man walking through the snow can break your heart
  C majorC        FF        G+G
But stopping doesn't help, so on I'll go


🎄 Chorus:
  FF         C majorC
And Christmas Eve can kill you
      DmDm        G+G     C majorC
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere


🎄 Verse 3:
  C majorC      FF           G+G       C majorC
The icy air I'm breathing is all that keeps me on my feet
 FF          C majorC       G+G
I feel like I've been walking all my life
 FF        G+G         C majorC       FF
A augmentedA car goes running by, the man don't even turn his head
      C majorC     FF       G+G
Guess he's busy being Santa Claus tonight


🎄 Verse 4:
  C majorC        FF       G+G         C majorC
The saddest part of all is knowing if I switched with him
  FF          C majorC       G+G
I'd leave him stumbling ragged by the road
  FF         G+G     C majorC      FF
I'd ride that highway to arms of my sweet family
    C majorC        FF      G+G
And forget about the stranger in the cold

🎄 Chorus:
  FF         C majorC
And Christmas Eve can kill you
      DmDm        G+G     C majorC
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere


🎄 Verse 5:
  C majorC       FF      G+G       C majorC
And as I walk I'm singing to myself "O Silent Night"
FF      C majorC        G+G
Hoping I can save those other souls
  FF        G+G           C majorC      FF
Oh, God, forgive the man that drives right by the other man
   C majorC      FF        G+G
Have pity on the stranger in the cold


🎄 Chorus:
    FF         C majorC
'Cause Christmas Eve can kill you
      DmDm        G+G     C majorC
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
