[Verse 1]

C         Dm7            Em7       Fmaj7
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
C          Gm7     Gm/C   F       E7sus4     E7 
Jack Frost nipping on your      nose, 
Am7      Fm7          Cmaj7     B7
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, 
    E             Bb          Eb   G         C
And folks dressed up like Eskimos, everybody knows

[Verse 2]

  Dm7             Em7        Fmaj7 
A turkey and some mistletoe, 
C       Gm7      Gm/C  F       E7sus4     E7 
Help to make the season      bright. 
Am7  Fm7             Cmaj7      B7
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
     Em      Am7     Dm7    G  Cmaj7     C7
Will find it hard to sleep     tonight. 

[Verse 3]

               Gm7  Gm/C    Fmaj7     Dm7
They know that Saaanta's on his   way; 
            Gm7              Gm/C      Fmaj7    Dm7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his  sleigh.  
          Fm7            Fm/A#               Eb    Cm 
And every mother's child               is going to spy, 
          Gsus4           G           Gsus4    G
To see if reindeer really know how to fly. 

[Verse 4]

    C      Dm7           Em7            Fmaj7
And so I'm offering this simple phrase, 
   C         Gm7    Gm/C   F     E7sus4     E7 
To kids from one to ninety-      two, 
  Am7             Fm7       Cmaj7       B7
Although its been said many times, many ways, 
      Em7         Am7  Dm7  G   C
Merry Christmas             to you
      Em7         Am7  Dm7  G   C
Merry Christmas             to you
