The Christmas Song Chords by Nat King Cole

[Verse]

Cmaj7     Dm7            Em7             Dm7
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Cmaj7      Gm7     C7      Fmaj7      E7
Jack Frost nipping on your nose
Am       Fm6          C         B7
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
    Emaj7         Fm7         Dm7  
And folks dressed up like Eskimos, 
 G     G7
    everybody 
 
[Verse]

Cmaj7    Dm7             Em7   Dm7
Knows, a turkey and some mistletoe
Cmaj7   Gm7      C7     Fmaj7   E7
Help to make the season bright
Am   Fm6             C         B7
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
     Em      A7      Dm7   G7  C
Will find it hard to sleep tonight 
 
[Bridge]

C7             Gm      C7     Fmaj7
They know that Santa's on his way
            Gm               
He's loaded lots of toys and 
C7              Fmaj7
goodies on his sleigh
          Fm7           Bb7
And every mother's child is 
         Eb
going to spy 
          D7                   
To see if reindeer really know 
       Gsus4  G7
how to fly 
 
[Verse]

    Cmaj7   Dm7           Em7    Dm7
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase 
   Cmaj7     Gm7    C7     Fmaj7   E7
To kids from one to ninety-two 
Am                Fm6       C      
Although its been said many times, 
     B7
many ways 
      Em7  A7 Dm7 G  C
Merry Chri-st-mas to you
