CAPO 1


C6        Dm7         Em7        Fmaj7 (Em7 Dm7)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
C6         Gm7     C7      Fmaj7  Bb9
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
C6       Bb9          Am7       F#m7  F7
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
    Emaj7         Fm7       Bb9  Ebmaj7 Dm7 Db9        
And folks dressed up like Eskimos...............everybody

C6      Dm7             Em7      Fmaj7 (Em7 Dm7)       
knows a turkey and some mistletoe
C6      Gm7      C7     Fmaj7  Bb9
Help to make the season bright
C6   Bb9             Am7       F#m7  F7
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
      Em7    Eb9     Dm7   Eb9 C6
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

               Gm7 C7      Fmaj7
They know that Santa's on his way
            Gm7              C7sus-C7        Fmaj7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
          Fm7     Bb7sus-Bb7          Ebmaj7
And every mother's child    is gonna spy
          D7                         G7
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

C6        Dm7            Em7         Fmaj7 (Em7 Dm7)
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
C6           Gm7    C7     Fmaj7  Bb9
To kids from one to ninety-two
  C6               Bb9        Am7        F#m7  F7
Although it's been said many times, many ways
      Em7 Eb9 Dm7 G7 C6  
Merry Christmas   to you
