Verse 3
The stockings were hung by the
chimney with (D major) care
(E minor) In hopes that St. Nich (D major) olas
(C major) soon would be there
(E minor) The chil (C major) dren were nestled
all (E minor) snug in their beds
(D major) While visions of sugar plums
(C major) danced in their heads
Verse 4
And (D major) mama in her (C major) 'kerchief,
(E minor) and I in my cap
Had just (C major) settled our brains
for a (E minor) long (D major) winter's nap
When (E minor) out on the lawn (D major) there arose
such a clatter
(C major) I sprang (D major) from the bed (C major) to see
what (E minor) was the mat (C major) ter
(D major) Away to the window, I flew like a flash
(C major) Tore open the shutter (G major) s and (E minor) threw up
the (D major) sash
Verse 5
The moon on the breast of the new- fallen snow
Gave the luster (E minor) of midday
(C major) (D major) to object (C major) s below
(D major) When (E minor) what to my (D major) wondering
eyes should appear? (E major)
(E minor) But a (D major) miniature sleigh,
and eight (C major) (D major) tiny reindeer (C major)
(D major) With a little old driver, (B flat major) (C major) so lively and
Verse 6
(E minor) quick
(C major) I (E minor) knew in a mo (D major) ment (G major) it must be
St. (C major) Nick (E minor) (G major)
More rapid (E minor) than eagles his cours
(G major) ers (C major) they came (E minor) (A minor)
And he (A major) whistled, and shouted,
(Edim) and (E minor) called them by name (G major) (E minor) (G major)
Verse 7
(D major) Now, dasher! Now, (C major) dancer! (D major) Now,
Prancer (B minor) (D major) and (G major) Vixen! (C major) (A minor) (C major)
(D major) On, Comet! (G major) On, (C major) Cu (D major) pid! (F major) On,
(C major) Donder (F sharp major) and Blitzen!
(D major) To (C major) (E minor) the (C major) top of the porch! (E minor) (C major) To the top
of the wall! (Edim) (C sharpdim) (B flatdim)
(C major) Now dash away! (D major) (C major) (G minor) Dash away! (C major)
(D major) Dash away all! (F sharp major) (E minor) (C major) (Edim)
Verse 8
(E minor) As (D major) dry (C major) leaves that before (E minor) the wild
(C major) hurricane (A minor) fly (E minor)
(C major) When they meet with an obstacle, (E minor)
(D major) mount to the sky
(F sharpdim) So (C major) up to the housetop,
the coursers (G minor) they flew (Daug)
(D major) With the sleigh (C major) full of Toys,
(D major) and St. Nicholas too
(B flat major) An d then, (C major) in a twinkle,
Verse 9
(C major)
I heard on the roof (G sharp major) (G major)
(C major) The prancing (E minor) and the pawing
(Edim) of each little hoof
(C major) As I drew my (Edim) head (G minor)
(C major) and was turning (Edim) around
Verse 10
(B flat major) Down (C major) the chimney,
St. Nicholas came with a (B flatdim) bound (Edim)
(E minor) He (C major) was dressed (E minor) all in fur, (D major)
from his head to his foot
And his clothes were all (C major) tar
(E minor) nished (A minor) with (C major) ashes and soot
A (G major) (C major) bundle of Toys (D major) (G minor) he had flun
(C sharpdim) g on his back (C major) (A minor)
(D major) And he (A major) looked like a (D major) peddler
just opening his pack (C major)
His eyes, how (A minor) they twinkled,
Verse 11
(D major)
his dimples how merry (F sharpdim) (A minor)
(C major) His cheeks were like roses,
(E minor) his nose (G major) (C major) like a cherry (G major) (C major)
His droll little (E minor) mouth (C major) was (B flatdim) drawn
up (G minor) like a bow (D major) (C major)
(E minor) And the (G minor) beard (F sharp major) (G minor) on his (C major) chin was as white
as the (D major) snow (C major) (B flat major) (G minor)
(C major) The stump of a pipe
Verse 12
(G major) (D major) he held
tight in (B flat major) his teeth (G major) (B flat major)
(D major) And the smoke it encircled
his head like a (C major) wreath
He had a (F major) broad face (G major) and a
(C major) little (E minor) round (C major) belly
That shook when he laughed,
(B flat major) like (C major) a bowl of jelly (A minor) (D major)
Verse 13
(C major) He (E minor) was chubby (B minor) (E minor) and plump,
(D major) (G major) (C major) a right jolly old elf
And I laughed (G major) when I saw him,
(C major) in spite of myself (E minor)
(D major) A wink of his (C major) eye and (D major) a twist of (A minor) his head (D major)
(A minor) Soon gave (C major) me to know that I had
nothing to dread
He spoke not a word (G major)
Verse 14
but went
straight (D major) to his work
And filled (C major) all the stockings; then
turned with a jerk (G major) (D major)
And laying his finger aside (C major) of his nose
And (F major) giving (C major) a nod,
(G major) up the chimney he rose (C major)
Verse 15
He sprang to his sleigh,
(Edim) (C major) to his team (A major) he gave a (D major) whistle (G major) (C major)
And away they (D major) all flew like the
(C major) down of a (G major) thistle (C major)
But I heard him exclaim,
(C sharpdim) (A major) ere he drove out of (D major) sight (E minor)
"Happy Christmas (C major) to all,
(G major) and to all a (D major) good night!"
(A minor) A very good night (G major)
And there goes your
Satchmo Armstrong
