C                 Dm6                   Em             Am
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
 C       C6         C7                   Fmaj       E7
Jack Frost nipping on your nose, 
Am            Fm                  C                  B7
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, 
         Emaj7               Bb                  G                  G7       C
And folks dressed up like Eskimos, everybody knows

C  Dm6                 Em                       Am
A turkey and some mistletoe, 
C        C6  C7                         Fmaj7        E7
Help to make the season bright. 
Am    Fm                     C               B7
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
          Em       Am       C         G    C
Will find it hard to sleep tonight. 

                               Gm                    Am7
They know that Santa's on his way; 
                       Bb                          Gm                       Am7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. 
                      Ab                                         Bb
And every mother's child is going to spy, 
                 D7                                                   Fm6     G
To see if reindeer really know how to fly. 

       C            Dm6                 Em                  Am
And so I'm offering this simple phrase, 
      C        C6      C7                  Fmaj        E7
To kids from one to ninety-two, 
      Am                       Fm              C                      B7
Although its been said many times, many ways, 
F           C           Dm G C
Merry Christmas to you
