The Christmas Song

The Christmas Song
Lyrics by Mel Torme and Robert Wells 1946, Nat King Cole, Celine Dion
Christina Aguilara

Midi 1(F75) Midi 2(Bb136) Midi 3(Ab80)
Play at about 90 BPM in Bb or F Key
Charlie McCoy uses C, Bb, and B Keys

  4   7    -7  -6   7 -5 5 6    5

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,

  4    -6   6  -5   5  -4    4

Jack Frost nipping at your nose.

  4   4    -4    4 -4   5   6 -6  -7

Yuletide car'ls being sung by a choir

 -6   6      5    -6   6  -5 -3 4

And folks dressed up like Eskimoes.

 6 -5 5-4   4   7  –7 -6  6   -5    5  6 5

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

 -4     4   -6  6-55-4   4

Helps make the season bright.

 4 4  -4    4    -4    5   6  -6 -7  -6    6  5   -6   6   -5  -3  4

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow will find it hard to sleep tonight.

  4    4    4   -7 -6   6  -5  6

They know that Santa's on his way.

  4    4 4  - 7  -6   6   -5   6  -5  5  -5    6

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.

 4   4 4   7  -7     6    5 -4  4  -4

And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy

 4  -4  4  -3  -3    4  3  -3   -3 -3  6

To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

 4   4  7  -7 -6 6   -5   5  6     5   -4   4   -7   7  -5  5 -4   4

And so I'm offering this simple phrase to kids from two to ninety-two--

 4   4    4     4   -4   4-4   5     6-6  -7

Although it's been said many times, many ways--

 7 -6    6   4  -4  4
Merry Christmas to you.

End with first line of Jingle Bells: 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 9 7 –8 8
