 	🎄 Intro: 
A  D  F#m7  Add4

 	🎄 Verse 1:
         A            Amaj7      D       E
It's the night before Christmas, seven o'clock,
  D         E       D              E
A rusty old dragger ties up at the dock;
      A             Amaj7           D           E
She's rigged out in lights from her stem to her stern,
   D               E          A
To spend Christmas Eve in St. John's.

 	🎄 Verse 2:
        A           Amaj7  D          E
All the sailors are tired, lonely and bored,
  D            D            D               E
A piece of dry land is what they're longing for;
          A          Amaj7   D            E
But their hearts are away on some foreign shore,
     D         E          A
This Christmas Eve in St. John's.

🎄 Chorus: 
Bm   E       Bm        E
Boas Festas, Feliz Navidad,
     D       E         D             E
In a faraway country a young girl is sad;
         A            Amaj7          Bm         E
It's the night before Christmas, she misses her dad,
         D         E          A
Spending Christmas Eve in St. John's.

 	🎄 Verse 3:
         A         Amaj7              D          E
Like the Magi that travelled from the East long ago,
D         E          D               E
Up to the hilltop to mass they'd all go;
      A       Amaj7  D              E
Their Lady of Fatima waits for them there,
     D         E          A
This Christmas Eve in St. John's.

 	🎄 Verse 4:
     A            Amaj7       D              E
They hear the old carols sung when they were young,
     D               E            D            E
They don't sound the same sung in this foreign tongue;
      A          Amaj7            D             E
Their hearts are warmed but their eyes tell the tale,
     D         E          A
This Christmas Eve in St. John's.

 	🎄 Chorus: 
Bm   E       Bm        E
Boas Festas, Feliz Navidad,
     D       E         D             E
In a faraway country a young girl is sad;
         A            Amaj7          Bm         E
It's the night before Christmas, she misses her dad,
         D         E          A
Spending Christmas Eve in St. John's.

 	🎄 Verse 5:
A             Amaj7     D           E
Back to their ships the sailors all go,
D                E            D          E
To a crèche by a porthole and new fallen snow;
    A         Amaj7       D              E
And soon it's back to the fish they must go,
     D         E          A
This Christmas Eve in St. John's.

It's the night before Christmas, she misses her dad,

Spending Christmas Eve in St. John's.
