Jolly old Saint Nicholas, lean your ear this way [ C5 G5 A5 Em] Don't you tell a single soul what I'm going to say [ F5 C5 G5 G7] Christmas Eve is coming soon; now my dear old man [ C5 G5 A5 Em] Whisper what you'll bring to me; tell me if you can [ F5 C5 G5 C5 ] When the clock is striking twelve, when I'm fast asleep Down the chimney, broad and black, with your pack you'll creep All the stockings you will find hanging in a row Mine will be the shortest one, you'll be sure to know Bobby wants a pair of skates, Suzy wants a sled Nellie wants a picture book, yellow, blue, and red Now I think I'll leave to you what to give the rest Choose for me, dear Santa Claus; you will know the best. [This chord progression is similar to Pachelbel's Canon in D major. You can play the "melody" using the available strings. Try it soft and slow and then jump into these lyrics. It's a kick. sj]
