              Introdução: C7M G4/7/9 G7/9-  
 
C           Dm7     G7      C Dm7 G7  
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,  
C           C7           F E7  
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,  
Am        Fdim       C   C/B     B7  
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir  
  E           Bb              G G7  
And folks dressed up like Eskimos. 
  
G     C      Dm7   G7        C        Dm7   G7  
Ev'rybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe  
   C           C7           F Bb7/9  
Help to make the season bright.  
C   G                    C    C/B Cdim  
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow  
    Em7     A7      Dm7  G7    C   
Will find it hard to sleep tonight. 
  
              Gm7 C7/9        Gm7 C7/9  
They know that Santa's on his way.  
               Gm7          C7/9     F7M  
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh,  
           Fm7             Bb7/9     Cm Cm7  
And every mother's child is gonna spy  
       Am7           D5-/7    G7  
To see if reindeer really know how to fly. 
  
  C     Dm7        G7    C        Dm7 G7  
And so I'm offering this simple phrase  
  C        C7               F   Bb7/9  
To kids from one to ninety-two,  
    Am7        Fdim       C    C/B  Cdim  
Although it's been said many times, many ways:  
Fdim  C      Am7  Dm7  G7  C        
"Merry Christmas  to    you." 
  
              Gm7 C7/9        Gm7 C7/9  
They know that Santa's on his way.  
    C7/9         F7M  
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh,  
      Fm7             Bb7/9    Cm Cm7  
And every mother's child is gonna spy  
      Am7             D5-/7        G7  
To see if reindeer really know how to fly. 
  
    C      Dm7     G7       C            Dm7 G7  
And so I'm offering this simple phrase  
      C        C7           F Bb7/9  
To kids from one to ninety-two, 
    Am7             G7        C     C/B  Cdim  
Although it's been said many times, many ways:  
Fdim  C      Am7  Dm7  G7  C C/B Bb7/9  
"Merry Christmas  to you.   
 Cdim     C      Am7  Dm7 G7 C  
Merry Christmas to you.:
