     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

A piece of dry land is what they're longing for;

But their hearts are away on some foreign shore,

This Christmas Eve in St. John's.

D     E     D        E
Up to the hilltop to mass they'd all go;

Their Lady of Fatima waits for them there,
   D     E     A
This Christmas Eve in St. John's.

   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;

Their hearts are warmed but their eyes tell the tale,
   D     E     A
This Christmas Eve in St. John's.

To a crèche by a porthole and new fallen snow;

And soon it's back to the fish they must go,
   D     E     A
This Christmas Eve in St. John's.
