The Christmas Song

Paul McCartney


Tom: F

 C         Dm9          Em        Am
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

 C        C7              F/C   E7
Jackfrost nipping at your nose

 Am      Fm            C         B7
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

     E7M         Bb7M           G  G7
And folks dressed up like eskimos

          C
Everybody knows

     Dm9            Em      Am
Some holly and some mistletoe

      C      C7              F/C    E7
Will help to make the season bright

 Am   Fm              C        B7
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

       Em     Am      F/C  G   C
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

                Gm            Am7
They know that santa's on his way
            Gm                              Am7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

    G#                          Bb7M
And every mother's child is gonna spy

          D7                           C4/D    G
To see if reindeers really know how to fly

    C     Dm9           Em           Am
And so i'm offering this simple phrase

   C          C7            F/C   E7
To kids, from one to ninety-two

 Am                Fm        C          B7
Although it's been said many times, many ways

     Em   Am F/C G  C
Merry christmas to you
