A7           D9        D7M  D9       Edim  G        G/F#     A7 
It must have been the mistletoe, the lazy fire, the falling snow 
    D7M   D9      D7M   D9         G  E7/9 A4/7      A7 
The magic in the frosty air, that feeling    ev'rywhere 
   D7M        D9       D7M    D9         D7/9      D7   Am7    D7 
It must have been the pretty lights that glistened in the silent night 
   G7M    G/B      Cdim      Em          G6    A D9  A7 
It may be just the stars so bright that shined above you 
G9  Em7    A    D9      G9       G/F#    Em7 Gdim D 
Our first Christmas   more than we'd be dreaming of 
F    C    Am7  Dm  G9      G/F#    A7 
Ah, Saint Nich'las had his fingers crossed 
    Em7       Cdim     A7 
That we would fall in love 
    A7        D9       D7M D9       F#m      Bm    Edim    G 
It could have been the holiday, the midnight ride upon a sleigh 
    G      G/F#      Edim      Em7         G   E7/9 A4/7       A7 
The countryside all dressed in white, the crazy  snowball fight 
   D7M        D9       D7M    D9         D7/9      D7   Am7        D7 
It could have been the steeplebell that wrapped us up within its spell 
   G7M  G/B      Cdim    Em          G6    A   D9   A7  D 
It only took one kiss to know    it must have been the mistletoe 
G9  Em7    A    D9      G9       G/F#    Em7 Gdim D 
Our first Christmas    more than we'd be dreaming of

Ah, St. Nich'las must have known that kiss 
      Em7    Cdim     A7 
Would lead to all of this 
A7           D9        D7M  D9       Edim  G        G/F#     A7 
It must have been the mistletoe, the lazy fire, the falling snow 
    D7M   D9      D7M   D9        G  E7/9 A4/7     A7 
The magic in the frosty air that made me   love  you 
    D7M      D9      DM7      D9       
On Christmas eve our wish came true 
     D7/9     D9     Cdim      D7 
That night I fell in love with you 
   G    G/F#     Edim    Em7         G6   A   D9   A7     D        B7 
It only took one kiss to know    it must have been   the mistletoe 
    G6   A    D9  A7     D        B7     
It must have been   the mistletoe   
G6   A    D9  A7     D         
It must have been   the mistletoe
