Verse 1
G
Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house
C
Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.
G
The stockings were hung by
the chimney with care,
C
G
D
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon
would be there.
C
The children were nestled
Verse 2
G
Gm
all snug in their beds,
G
While visions of sugar- plum
C
s danced in their heads.
And mama in her 'kerchief,
G
Gm
and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains
C
G
D
for a long winter's nap.
Verse 3
G
When out on the lawn there
Gm
G
arose such a clatter,
Em
I sprang from the bed to see
D
G
what was the matter.
C
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters
Am
and threw up the sash.
G
The moon on
Verse 4
C
the breast
D
of the new- fallen snow
Gave the luster of mid- day
to objects below.
G
When, what to my wondering
eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh,
C
and eight tinny reindeer.
Verse 5
G
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
D
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
G
More rapid than eagles
his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted,
Verse 6
and called them by name!
G
C
"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now,
Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on,
G
on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch!
to the top of the wall!
D
Now dash away! Dash
C
G
away! Dash away all!"
Verse 7
G
Gm
As dry leaves that before
G
C
the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle,
mount to the sky.
G
So up to the house- top the coursers they flew,
D
With the sleigh full of Toys,
G
and St Nicholas too.
Verse 8
G
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
Em
D
G
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
C
As I drew in my head,
and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas
Am
came with a bound.
Verse 9
C
He was dressed all in fur,
D
from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished
G
with ashes and soot.
C
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler,
Am
just opening his pack.
Verse 10
G
His eyes- how they twinkled!
his dimples how merry!
D
His cheeks were like roses,
G
his nose like a cherry!
C
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as
G
white as the snow.
Verse 11
G
The stump of a pipe he held
tight in his teeth,
D
And the smoke it encircled
his head like a wreath.
G
He had a broad face and
a little round belly,
C
That shook when he laughed,
like a bowlful of jelly!
Verse 12
G
He was chubby and plump,
a right jolly old elf,
D
And I laughed when I saw him,
G
in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Em
Soon gave me to know
G
I had nothing to dread.
Verse 13
C
He spoke not a word,
but went straight to his work,
Am
And filled all the stockings,
G
then turned with a jerk.
C
D
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod,
G
up the chimney he rose!
Verse 14
G
He sprang to his sleigh,
to his team gave a whistle,
C
And away they all flew like
the down of a thistle.
G
But I heard him exclaim,
'ere he drove out of sight,
D
"Happy Christmas to all,
G
and to all a good- night!"

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
Lynae T
“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
