[Intro]
D6  A7  Bm7b5  A7

[Verse 1]
D6         A7            D6         G  A7
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
D6         Am7              G   F#7sus F#7
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Bm       Gm           D6        G#m   C#7
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
    F#            Gm  C7       F    A7
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

[Verse 2]
           D6     A7              D6       G  A7
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
D6      Am7              G    F#7sus F#7
Help to make the season bright
Bm      Gm             D6         G#m C#7
  Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
     F#m     B7       Em7  A7   D6   D Dsus D
Will find it hard to sleep   tonight

[Chorus]
               Am7 D7            Am7 D7
They know that San-  ta's on his way
            Am7              D7              Gmaj7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
          Gm7           C7         Fmaj7
And every mother's child  is gonna spy
           Bm7             E7         A7   Em9/A A7
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

[Verse 3]
    D6     A7            D6            G  A7
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
   D6        Am7            G   F#7sus F#7
To kids from one to ninety-two
Bm7                Gm         D6         G#m  C#7
Although it's been said many times, many ways
      F#m       Em  A7  D6   D Dsus D
Merry Christmas     to you

[Chorus]
               Am7 D7            Am7 D7
They know that San-  ta's on his way
            Am7              D7              Gmaj7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
          Gm7           C7         Fmaj7
And every mother's child  is gonna spy
           Bm7             E7         A7   Em9/A  A7 A6 A7sus2
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

[Verse 4]
    D6     A7            D6            G  A7
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
   D6        Am7            G   F#7sus F#7
To kids from one to ninety-two
Bm7                Gm         D6         G#m  C#7
Although it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas     to you
