CHRISTMAS SONG [Am] [Fm6,] [C] [B7,] [Em7] [A] [Dm7] [G7] [C] Chestnuts roasting on an open fire [C6] [Dm7] [/g] [Cmaj79] [Dm7] [/g] Jack Frost nipping at your nose [C6] [Gm7] [C7] [F] [E7] Yuletide carols being sung by a choir [Am] [Fm6] [C] [F#m7] [B7] And folks dressed up like Eskimos [E] [Fm7] [Bb7] [Eb] Everybody knows [Dm7] [G7] [C] a turkey and some mistletoe [Dm7] [/g] [Cmaj7] [Dm7] [/g] Help to make the season bright. [C] [Gm7] [C7] [F] [Bb9] Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow [Am] [Fm6] [C] [B7] Will find it hard to sleep tonight [Em7] [A7] [Dm7] [G7] [C] They know that Santa's on his way; [Gm7] [C9] [Gm7] [C9] He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. [Gm7] [C9] [Fmaj79] And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy [Fm7] [Bb9] [Ebmaj7] To see if reindeer really know how to fly. [Am7] [D7] [G7] [/g] [/a] [/b] And so I'm offering this simple phrase [C6] [Dm7] [/g] [Cmaj79] [Dm7] [/g] To kids from one to ninety-two; [C] [Gm7] [C7] [F] [Bb9] Although it's been said many times, [Am7] [Bb9] [Cmaj7] many ways [Ebdim] "Merry Christmas to you." [Em7] [Am7] [Dm7] [G7,] [Cmaj7] FROSTY THE SNOW MAN Frosty the Snow Man [C] was a jolly happy soul [F] [C] With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose [F] [C] and two eyes made out of coal. [G7] [C] [G7] Frosty the Snow Man is a fairy tale they say [C] [F] [C] He was made of snow [F F#dim] but the children know [C Am] how he came to life one day. [Dm7 G7 C] There must have been some magic in [F] [Em7] [A7] that old silk hat they found, [Dm7] [G7] [Cmaj7] For when they put it on his head [G G#dim] he began to dance around. [Am7][D7] [G] [G7] Oh, Frosty the Snow Man [C] was alive as he could be, [F] [F#dim] [C] And the children say [F] he could laugh and play [Em7] [A7] just the same as you and me. [Dm7] [G7] [C] Frosty the Snow Man [C] knew the sun was hot that day, [F] [C] So he said, "Let's run [F] and we'll have some fun [C] now before I melt away." [G7] [C] [G7] Down to the village [C] with a broomstick in his hand, [F] [C] Running here and there [F] [F#dim] all around the square, [C] [Am] saying "Catch me if you can." [Dm7] [G7] [C] He led them down the streets of town [F] [Em7] [A7] right to the traffic cop, [Dm7] [G7] [Cmaj7] And he only paused a moment [G] [G#dim] when he heard him holler, [Am7] [D7] "Stop!" [G] [G7] For Frosty the Snow Man [C] had to hurry on his way, [F] [F#dim] [C] But he waved good-bye, [F] saying, "Don't you cry; [Em7] [A7] I'll be back again some day." [Dm7] [G7] [C] Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow. [C] [G7] [G7] [G7] [C] GOD REST YE MERRY, GENTLEMEN God rest ye merry, gentlemen; [Am] [E7] [Am] let nothing you dismay [Am] [F] [E7] Remember Christ our Savior [Am] [E7] [Am] was born on Christmas Day [Am] [F] [E7] To save us all from Satan's pow'r [Dm] [E7] when we were gone a-stray [Am] [G] O tidings of comfort and joy, [C] [F] [E7] [Am] comfort and joy! [G] O tidings of comfort and joy [C] [F] [E7] [Am] In Bethlehem, in Israel, this blessed Babe was born, and laid within a manger upon this blessed morn; The which His Mother Mar-y did nothing take in scorn. From God our heav'nly Father, a blessed angel came; And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same; How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name. HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS Have yourself a [G] [Em] [Am7] [D7] merry little Christmas Let your heart be light [G] [Em] [Am7] [D7] From now on, our troubles will be out of sight [G] [Em7] [Am7] [D7] [B7] [E7] [A7] [D7] Have yourself a [G] [Em] [Am7] [D7] merry little Christmas Make the Yuletide gay [G] [Em] [Am7] [D7] From now on, our troubles will be miles away [G] [Em] [Am7] [D7] [B7] [Em] Here were are as in olden days [Cmaj7] [Bm7] happy golden days of yore [Am7] [D7] [Gmaj7] Faithful friends who are dear to us [Em] [A7] [Bm] gather near to us once more [Em7] [Am7] [D7] Through the years we all will be together [G] [Em] [Am7] [D7] If the Fates allow [G] [Em] [Am7] [D7] Hang a shining star upon the highest bough [G] [Em] [Am7] [D7] [B7] [Em] And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
