Verse 1
G+G       G+G       E minor 7Em7       G/DG/D
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
C majorC           DsusDsus   D MajorD  Am7Am7         DsusDsus  D MajorD
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
G+G           G+G      E minor 7Em7         G/DG/D
Standin' right in front of me, was a little boy waiting anxiously
C majorC        DsusDsus     D MajorD  Am7Am7         DsusDsus D MajorD     G+G
Pacin' round like little boys do, and in his hands he held a pair of shoes
     E minor 7Em7         G+G      E minor 7Em7       DsusDsus D MajorD
And his clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
  Am7Am7        G/BG/B      G/C          DsusDsus    D MajorD
But when it came his time to pay, I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Its Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size

Could you hurry sir? Daddy says there's not much time
A augmentedA   D(add2)         E MajorE
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
 D(add2)             E MajorE
And I know these shoes will make her smile
 D(add2)        EsusEsus  E MajorE  Bm7Bm7  A augmentedA   D MajorD  E7E7   A augmentedA
And I want her to look beautiful, if mama meets Jesus tonight

Verse 2
       A augmentedA           E MajorE
They counted pennies for what seemed like years

Then the cashier said son there's not enough here
D(add2)         EsusEsus  E MajorE Bm7Bm7          EsusEsus    E MajorE
He searched his pockets frantically, then he turned and he looked at me

He said, momma made Christmas good at our house, though

Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
     Bm7Bm7         C#m7C#m7
And I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
A augmentedA         EsusEsus  E MajorE
Momma's gonna look so great
