Intro: A-Asus-A-Asus-; (2x)

  A       Asus           A           Asus
   Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
  A         Em7    A7         D   Dm
   Jack Frost nipping on your nose
  A        Bm/A         C#m/A      Ebm7-G#7
   Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
        C#         Dm7  G    C
   And folks dressed up like Eskimos

   Bm7  E     A      Asus          A          Asus
   Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
        A       Em7-A7      D    Dm
   Will help to make the season bright
  A     Bm/A              A       G#7
   Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
        C#m     F#7      Bm  E-G   A-G-A-
   Will find it hard to sleep  tonight 

                 Refrain
                  Em-A           Em-A
   They know that Santa's on his way
               Em
   He's loaded lots of toys 
         A              DM7
   And goodies on his sleigh
              Dm           G           CM7 
   And every mother's child is going to spy
              Bm7              B           E7
   To see if reindeers really know how to fly

       A      Asus          A            Asus
   And so I'm offering this simple phrase
       A        Em7-A   D        Dm
   To kids from one to ninety-two
  A                  Bm/A        A         G#7
   Although its been said many times, many ways
         C#m-F#7  Bm-E    G-A-G-A-
   Merry Christmas    to you

   (Repeat Refrain)

       A      Asus          A            Asus
   And so I'm offering this simple phrase
       A        Em7-A   D        Dm
   To kids from one to ninety-two
  A                  Bm/A        A         G#7
   Although its been said many times, many ways
             C#m   F#7       Bm       G#7
   Merry Christmas,   Merry Christmas
             C#m   F#7     Bm-G#7-C#m-F#7-Bm pause
   Merry Christmas oh, oh yeah ooh...
                   G   A-G-A-G-A-G pause A hold
   Merry Christmas to you
