	D	A7	G	D
The season is upon us now

	G	A	D
A time for gifts and giving

	D	A7	G	D
And as the year draws to its close

	Em7	A7	D
I think about my living

The Christmas time when I was young, The magic and the wonder, But colors

dull and candles dim, And dark my standing under

	Bm	E	A	G
Oh little Zachary, shining light

	D	A7	D
You've set my soul to dreaming

	Bm	E	A	G
You've given back my joy in life

	D	A7	D
And filled me with new meaning

A Savior King was born that day, A baby just like you, And as the Magi

came with gifts, I come with my gift too

That peace on Earth fills up your time, That brotherhood surrounds you.

That you may know the warmth of love, And wrap it all around you

	Bm	E7	A	G
It's just a wish, a dream I'm told

	D	A7	D
From days when I was young

	G	A7	D	Bm
Merry Christmas, little Zachary

	Em	A7	D
Merry Christmas, ev'ryone

	G	A7	D	Bm
Merry Christmas, little Zachary

	Em	A7	D
Merry Christmas, ev'ryone

	D	A	D
Angels we have heard on high

	D	A7	D
Sweetly singing through the night

	Bm,	D
And the mountains in reply

	D	A7	D
Echoing their brave delight.

	D	B7	Em	A7	Bm	G	A4	A
Glo-ri-a

	D	A	D	G	D	A
in excelsis Deo,

	D	B7	Em	A7	Bm	G	A4	A
Glo-ri-a

	D	A	D	G	D	A	D
in excelsis Deo.

	D	A	D
Shepherds, why this jubilee?

	D	A7	D
Why these songs of happy cheer?

	Bm,	D
What great brightness did you see?

	D	A7	D
What glad tidings did you hear?

	D	A	D
Come to Bethlehem and see

	D	A7	D
Him whose birth the angels sing.

	Bm,	D
Come adore on bended knee

	D	A7	D
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

	D
Away in a manger,

	G	D
no crib for a bed

	A7
The little Lord Jesus

	G	D
lay down his sweet head

	D
The stars in the sky

	G	D
look down where he lay

	A7	D
The little Lord Jesus

	Em	A7	D
asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes; But little Lord Jesus, no crying

He makes; I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky; And stay by my

cradle 'til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay, Close by me forever, and love

me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for

Heaven to live with Thee there.

	Cm	D7	Cm
You'll be doin' all right

But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.

Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas day

	C	G	D7	G
Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains.

	C	G	D7	Em
All of the good gifts given today;

	C	G	D7	G
Ours is the sky and the wide open range.

Back in the cities, they have different ways, Football and eggnog and

Christmas parades. I'll take the blanket; I'll take the reins; Christmas

for Cowboys and wide open plains.

A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night; The stars overhead are the

Christmas-tree lights. The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray;

Christmas for Cowboys and the wide open plains.

It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, Drivin' the cattle on the

snow-covered plains. So many gifts have been opened today; Ours is the sky

and the wide open range. It's Christmas for Cowboys and wide open plains.

Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star, Shining in the East, beyond them far; And

to the earth it gave good light; And so it continued both day and night.

This star drew nigh to the North West, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,

And there it did stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Then enter'd in there Wise Men three Full rev'rently on bended knee, And

offered there in His presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose		and two eyes made out of

Frosty the Snow Man is a fairy tale they say

He was made of snow	but the children know	how he came to

There must have been some magic in			that old silk hat they

In Bethlehem, in Israel, this blessed Babe was born, and laid within a

From God our heav'nly Father, a blessed angel came; And unto certain

Christmas Eve is coming soon; now my dear old man

	F	C	G7	C
Whisper what you'll bring to me; tell me if you can

When the clock is striking twelve, when I'm fast asleep

Down the chimney, broad and black, with your pack you'll creep

All the stockings you will find hanging in a row

Mine will be the shortest one, you'll be sure to know

Bobby wants a pair of skates, Suzy wants a sled

Nellie wants a picture book, yellow, blue, and red

Now I think I'll leave to you what to give the rest

Choose for me, dear Santa Claus; you will know the best.

O night when Christ was born!

	G	G7	C	Dm	C	G7	C
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

(Starting note:a)

	F	Fdim	F	Gm
O little town of Bethlehem,

	F	C7	F
How still we see thee lie;

	F	D7	Gm
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,

	F	C7	F
The silent stars go by.

	F	F	F#dim	Gm	G#dim	A4	A7
Yet in thy dark streets shineth

	Dm	A	F	Gm	A4	A
The everlasting light;

	F	Fdim	F	Gm
The hopes and fears of all the years

	F	Bb	F	C7	F
Are met in thee tonight.

	F	Fdim	F	Gm
For Christ is born of Mary,

	F	C7	F
And gather'd all above

	F	D7	Gm
While mortals sleep, the angels keep

	F	C7	F
Their watch of wond'ring love.

	F	F	F#dim	Gm	G#dim	A4	A7
O morning stars together

	Dm	A	F	Gm	A4	A
Proclaim the holy birth

	F	Fdim	F	Gm
And praises sing to God the King

	F	C7	F
And peace to men on earth.

	C
Rockin' around the Christmas tree

	G7
At the Christmas party hop

	Dm7	G7	Dm7	G7
Mistletoe hung where you can see

	G7	C
Ev'ry couple wants to stop.

	C
Rockin' around the Christmas tree

	G7
Let the Christmas spirit ring

	Dm7	G7	Dm7	G7
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie

	G7	C
And we'll do some caroling.

	F	Em
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

	Am	Am+7	Am7
voices singing, "Let's be Jolly;

	D7	G7
Deck the halls with boughs of holly."

	C
Rockin' around the Christmas tree

	G7
Have a happy holiday.

	Dm7	G7	Dm7	G7
Ev'ryone dancing merrily

	G7	Dm7	G7	C
In the new old-fashioned way.

Am+7: x02110

	Fmaj7	Em7
You know Dasher and Dancer

	Dm7	Cmaj7
And Prancer and Vixen,

	Fmaj7	Em7
Comet and Cupid

	Dm7	Cmaj7
And Donner and Blitzen.

	Am	E7	Am
But do you recall

	D9	G4	G7
The most famous reindeer of all?

	C
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer)

	C	G7
Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb)

	G7
And if you ever saw it (saw it)

	C
You would even say it glows (like a flash light)

	C
All of the other reindeer (reindeer)

	C	G7
Used to laugh and call him names		(like Pinochio)

	G7
They wouldn't let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)

	G7	C
Play in any reindeer games (like Monopoly)

	F	Em7	A7
Then one foggy Christmas Eve

	Dm7	G7	C
Santa came to say (Ho Ho Ho)

	G7	Em
Rudolph with your nose so bright

	Am7	D7	Dm7	G7
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?

	C
Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him)

	C	G7
And they shouted out with glee (yippee)

	G7
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer)

	G7	C
You'll go down in history (like Columbus)

	A
You better watch out

	D
You better not cry

	A	A7
Better not pout

	D	D7
I'm telling you why

	A	E	A	E7
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna find out Who's naughty

and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town

	G	A	D
He sees you when you're sleeping

	G	A	D
He knows when you're awake

	F#m7	E
He knows if you've been bad or good

	B7	E	E7
So be good for goodness sake

Oh! You better watch out! You better not cry. Better not pout, I'm telling

you why. Santa Claus is coming to town.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

I also do these lyrics in a "blues" version using [E] [A7] & [B7] 
similar to Eric Clapton's "Before You Accuse Me".(sj)

Christ the Savior is born.

Silent night, Holy night, Son of God, love's pure light. Radiant beams

from Thy holy face, with the dawn of Redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at Thy

birth; Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

	C	Am	Dm7	G7
Silver and gold, silver and gold

	C	Am	Dm7	G7
Ev'ryone wishes for silver and gold

	C	Em	Am
How do you measure its worth?

Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth.

Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas-time in the city

As the shoppers run home with their treasures
