• Capo on 4th

🎅 Verse:
    E minorEm     D MajorD     C majorC     G/BG/B
And it  came to pass on a Christmas evening
Am7Am7       G+G     A augmentedA      BB
. While all the doors were  shuttered tight
E minorEm     D MajorD     C majorC     G/BG/B
  Outside standing,  lonely boy-child
Am7Am7     G+G     BB     E minorEm
  Cold and shivering  in the night


🎅 Verse:
E minorEm    D MajorD    C majorC    G/BG/B
  On the street,  every window
Am7Am7       G+G     A augmentedA    BB
. Save but one, was  gleaming bright
E minorEm     D MajorD     C majorC     G/BG/B
And to this window  walked the boychild
Am7Am7     G+G     BB     E minorEm
  Peeking in saw,  candle light

🎅 Verse:
E minorEm        D MajorD       C majorC    G/BG/B
Through other windows he had looked at turkeys
Am7Am7       G+G    A augmentedA  BB
. Ducks and geese,  cherry pies
E minorEm         D MajorD     C majorC       G/BG/B
But through this window saw a grey-haired lady
Am7Am7     G+G     BB      E minorEm
  Table bare and  tears in her eyes

🎅 Verse:
E minorEm    D MajorD   C majorC    G/BG/B
Into his coat reached the boy-child
Am7Am7   G+G        A augmentedA  BB
Knowing well there was litle there
E minorEm         D MajorD     C majorC       G/BG/B
He took from his pocket, his own Christmas dinner
Am7Am7     G+G     BB      E minorEm
A augmentedA bit of cheese, some bread  to share

🎅 Verse:
E minorEm        D MajorD       C majorC        G/BG/B
His outstretched hands held the food and they trembled
Am7Am7   G+G    A augmentedA  BB
As the door, it opened wide
E minorEm         D MajorD       C majorC       G/BG/B
Said he
Would you share with me Christmas dinner
Am7Am7     G+G   BB   E minorEm
Gently said she
Come inside

🎅 Verse:
E minorEm        D MajorD       C majorC    G/BG/B
The grey-haired lady brought forth to the table
Am7Am7   G+G      A augmentedA      BB
Glasses two and her last drop of wine
E minorEm         D MajorD     C majorC       G/BG/B
Said she
Here's a toast to everyone's Christmas
Am7Am7     G+G     BB     E minorEm
and especially,  yours and mine

🎅 Verse:
E minorEm        D MajorD       C majorC    G/BG/B
And it came to pass on that Christmas evening
Am7Am7       G+G      A augmentedA     BB
While all the doors were shuttered tight
E minorEm       D MajorD     C majorC      G/BG/B
That in that town, the happiest Christmas
Am7Am7     G+G     BB  E minorEm
Was shared by  candle light
