The Christmas Song Chords & Tabs

by Nat King Cole

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7     Dm7            Em7      Fmaj7
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Cmaj7      Gm7     C9      Fmaj7 Bb9
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Am       Fm6          Cmaj7     B7   
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
    Emaj7         Fm7         Dm7/G    G7       
And folks dressed up like Eskimos,     everybody

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7    Dm7             Em7      Fmaj7
Knows, a turkey and some mistletoe
Cmaj7   Gm7      C7     Fmaj7 Bb9
Help to make the season bright
Am   Dm7             Cmaj7     B7  
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
     Em7     Am7     Dm7   G7  Cmaj7
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

[Bridge]
C9             Gm7     C9     Fmaj7
They know that Santa's on his way
            Gm7              C9              Fmaj7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
          Fm7           Bb7       Ebmaj7
And every mother's child is gonna spy
G7sus4                      G7
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

[Verse 3]
    Cmaj7   Dm7           Em7          Fmaj7
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
   Cmaj7     Gm7    C9     Fmaj7 Bb9
To kids from one to ninety-two
Am                 Dm7       Cmaj7       B7  
Although it's been said many times, many ways
      Em7   Am7 Dm7 G Cmaj7
Merry Christmas t-o   you
