Lyrics by Mel Torme (1946) See YouTube videos below |
4 7 -7 -6 7 -5 5 6 5
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
4 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4
Jack Frost nipping at your nose.
4 4 -4 4 -4 5 6 -6 -7
Yuletide car'ls being sung by a choir
-6 6 5 -6 6 -5 -3 4
And folks dressed up like Eskimoes.
6 -5 5-4 4 7 –7 -6 6 -5 5 6 5
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
-4 4 -6 6-55-4 4
Helps make the season bright.
4 4 -4 4 -4 5 6 -6 -7 -6 6 5 -6 6 -5 -3 4
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow will find it hard to sleep tonight.
4 4 4 -7 -6 6 -5 6
They know that Santa's on his way.
4 4 4 - 7 -6 6 -5 6 -5 5 -5 6
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
4 4 4 7 -7 6 5 -4 4 -4
And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy
4 -4 4 -3 -3 4 3 -3 -3 -3 6
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
4 4 7 -7 -6 6 -5 5 6 5 -4 4 -7 7 -5 5 -4 4
And so I'm offering this simple phrase to kids from two to ninety-two--
4 4 4 4 -4 4-4 5 6-6 -7
Although it's been said many times, many ways--
7 -6 6 4 -4 4
Merry Christmas to you.
End with first line of Jingle Bells: 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 9 7 –8 8
