              G   G6   C      Am     Am7     Dm7        G7 
Frosted window panes, candles gleeming inside, 
         Cm7  Cm7/6         Dm7   G7 
Painted candy canes on the tree; 
        C       Am        Dm7        G7 
Santa's on his way, he's filled his sleigh 
       Cm7  Am           Dm7         G7 
With things,  things for you and for me. 
G    G6   C       Am   Am7      Dm7             G7 
It's that time of year when the world falls in love; 
      Cm7     Cm7/6          Dm7   G7 
Ev'ry song you hear seems to say, 
         C9      Am         Dm7       G7         Gdim  A7 
"Merry Christmas!  May your New Year dreams come true." 
          Dm7      G7           Cm7    Am7 
And this song of mine in three-quarter time 
       Dm7      G7        Dm7  G6     C 
Wishes you and yours the same thing, too. 
 
(Instrumental Interlude: first four lines) 
 
G    G6   C       Am   Am7      Dm7             G7 
It's that time of year when the world falls in love; 
      Cm7     Cm7/6          Dm7   G7 
Ev'ry song you hear seems to say, 
         C9      Am          Dm7       G7        Gdim  A7 
"Merry Christmas!  May your New Year dreams come true." 
          Dm7      G7           Cm7    Am7 
And this song of mine in three-quarter time 
       Dm7      G7        Dm7  G6     C 
Wishes you and yours the same thing, too.
