[ verse #1 ]

Db6          Ebm7           Fm7        Gbmaj7  Fm7 Ebm7 Dbmaj7
   Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
      Dbmaj7  Ebm7     F7+5    Bbm7    B9
Jack  Frost   nipping  at your nose
 Db6         B9      Dbmaj7                Gm7   Gb7-9  Fmaj7
    Yuletide carols        being sung by a choir
              Gbm7  B7-9       Emaj7   Ebm9  D7+9
Folks dressed up    like  Eski mos


[ verse #2 ]

          Dbmaj7       Ebm7            Fm7         Gbmaj7 Fm7 Ebm7 Dbmaj7
Everybody knows      a turkey and some mistle toe
        Ebm7    F7+9       Bbm7     B9  
Help to make the    season bright
Db6       B9              Dbmaj7     Gm7   Gb7-9
     Tiny tots with their eyes all a glow
     Fm7     E9      Ebm7   D7+9     Db6
Will find it hard to sleep        to night


[ Bridge ]

          Abm7     Db9           Gbmaj7      Gb6
They know that San ta's   on his way
     Abm7           Db9              Gbmaj7        Gb6
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
          Gbm7            B9          Emaj7
And every mother's child     is gonna spy
          Bbm7      A7-5              Ab7          Ab7-9
To see if reindeer       really know  how to fly


[ verse #3 ]

    Db6     Ebm7      Fm7             Gbmaj7  Fm7 Ebm7 Dbmaj7
And so I'm  offering      this simple phrase
        Ebm7   F7+9   Bbm7        B9
To kids from   one to ninety-two
Db6                     B9         Dbmaj7     
     Although it's been said  many times
Gm7      Gb7-9       Fm7    E9    Ebm7  D7+9  Db
Many ways,     Merry Christ ma as       to    you
