The Christmas Song

The Christmas Song
Lyrics by Mel Torme and Robert Wells 1946

Play 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
