❄ Intro:

G   G   Em   Em   D   Cadd9




❄ Verse 1:
          G
It’s the news that no one hopes for
Em
Every parent's greatest fear
D                                  Cadd9
Finding out the child you love so much
                               G
Might not make it through the year
         G
Now the thought of spending Christmas
    Em
Without him just feels wrong
               D
They’ve been praying for a miracle
Cadd9                                 G
Now they're praying he can just hold on.

❄ Chorus:
    Cadd9      G        Em         D
For one last Christmas, one last time
Cadd9     G               Em          D
One last season when the world is right
Cadd9          G
One more telling of the story
D               Em
One more verse of Silent Night
Am               G/B Cadd9
They’d give anything so he could have
D         G
One last Christmas.


❄ Verse 2:
 G
Middle of September
       Em
Still seventy degrees
       D
Daddy climbs up in the attic
             Cadd9
Brings down candles
                             G
Hangs the lights on all the trees
G
Then the neighbors started asking
            Em
And pretty soon word got around
D
First it was the neighborhood
   Cadd9                                G
Before too long they lit up that whole town.


❄ Chorus:
    Cadd9     G        Em         D
For one last Christmas, one last time
Cadd9     G               Em          D
One last season when the world is right
Cadd9          G
One more telling of the story
D               Em
One more verse of Silent Night
Am               G/B Cadd9
They’d give anything so he could have
D         Cadd9   G/B  Em  D  Cadd9  G   D
One last Christmas.


❄ Verse 3:
       G
Twenty-seventh of October
Em
His time was wearing thin
             D
Friends and family, even strangers
           Cadd9                       G
That they didn’t know brought presents in
        G
He was weak but he was smiling
                Em
Like there was nothing even wrong
      D
They said he wouldn’t make it
Cadd9                       G
Looks like he got to see it after all.


❄ Chorus:
Cadd9      G        Em         D
One last Christmas, one last time
Cadd9     G               Em       D
One last season when the world is right
Cadd9          G
One more telling of the story
D              Em       Em
One more verse of Silent Night
Am                  G/B Cadd9
They’d give everything so he could   have
          G        G
One last Christmas
          Em      Em   D   Cadd9   G
One last Christmas.
