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 
Helps 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 ev'ry 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 
For 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 
          Gm7             C7/9       F7M 
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh 
           Fm7             Bb7/9     Cm Cm7 
And ev'ry 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 
For 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
