Verse 1
G       G       Em7       G/D
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
C           Dsus   D  Am7         Dsus  D
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
G           G      Em7         G/D
Standin' right in front of me, was a little boy waiting anxiously
C        Dsus     D  Am7         Dsus D     G
Pacin' round like little boys do, and in his hands he held a pair of shoes
     Em7         G      Em7       Dsus D
And his clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
  Am7        G/B      G/C          Dsus    D
But when it came his time to pay, I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus
      A      E     F#m     E
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my mama please
 D(add2)          E         A   F#m
Its Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
E     A    E          F#m
Could you hurry sir? Daddy says there's not much time
A   D(add2)         E
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
 D(add2)             E
And I know these shoes will make her smile
 D(add2)        Esus  E  Bm7  A   D  E7   A
And I want her to look beautiful, if mama meets Jesus tonight

Verse 2
       A           E
They counted pennies for what seemed like years
    F#m             A
Then the cashier said son there's not enough here
D(add2)         Esus  E Bm7          Esus    E
He searched his pockets frantically, then he turned and he looked at me
    A            E         F#m
He said, momma made Christmas good at our house, though
           A          D      Esus  E
Most years she just did without, tell me sir, what am I gonna do
  Bm7        Esus  E        A
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes
   F#m       A  C#m   F#m      Esus
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
     Bm7         C#m7
And I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
A         Esus  E
Momma's gonna look so great
