 verse #1 :

C6     Dm7       Em7    Fmaj7  Em7 Dm7 Cmaj7
  Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Cmaj7 Dm7     E7+5      Am7 Bb9
Jack  Frost nipping   at your nose
 C6      Bb9 Cmaj7          F#m7  F7-9 Emaj7
  Yuletide carols    being sung by a choir
       Fm7 Bb7-9 Ebmaj7   Dm9 Db7+9
Folks dressed up  like  Eskimos

 verse #2 :

     Cmaj7 Dm7      Em7     Fmaj  Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 Cmaj7
Everybody knows   a turkey and some mistletoe
    Dm7  E7+9    Am7 Bb9 C6
Help to make the  season bright
   Bb9       Cmaj7   F#m7  F7-9
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
   Em7   Eb9   Dm7  Db7+9   C6
Will find it hard to sleep    tonight


 Bridge :

        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     Bb9     Ebmaj7
And every mother's child    is gonna    spy
     Am7   D7     Ab7-5 G7     G7-9
To see if reindeer   really know how to fly


 verse #3 :

  C6   Dm7    Em7        Fmaj7   Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 Cmaj7
And so we're offering   this simple phrase
    Dm7  E7+9   Am7   Bb9
To kids from  one to ninety-two
C6           Bb9   Cmaj7   Am7
   Although it's been said     many times
   F#m7  F7-9    Em7 Eb9 Dm7 Db7+9   C
Many ways,    Merry Christmas       to you
