[16]Chestnuts [2m7]roasting [57]on an [1]open fire
[16]Jack Frost [2m7]nipping [57]at your [1]nose
[6m]Yuletide [4m6]carols being [1]sung by a [4#m7]choir
And [3]folks dressed [2m7]up like Eski-[3b]mos

Ev'rybody [1]knows a [2m7]turkey and some [1maj7]mistletoe
[1]Help to make the season [4]bright
[6m]Tiny tots with their [1]eyes all aglow
Will [3m7]find it hard to [57]sleep to-[1]night

They know that [5m7]San-[17]ta's on his [5m7]way   [17]   
He's loaded [5m7]lots of toys and [17]goodies on his slei[4maj7]gh
And ev'ry [4m7]mother's child is gonna [3bmaj7]spy
To see if [6m7]reindeer really [27]know how to [57]fly

And [1]so I'm offering this [67]simple phrase
To [1]kids from one to ninety-[4]two
Al-[6m7]though it's been said many [1maj7]times, many [27]ways
Merry [3m7]Christ-[6m7]mas_[2m7]____ [57]to  [1]you
