The Night Before Christmas chords by

Steve Lawrence

N/A
Verse 1
G
Bm

T 'was the night before Christmas
Am

and all through the house
G
Bm

Not a creature was stirring,
C
D

not even a mouse
Am
D

The stockings were hung
C

by the chimney with care
Bm
C
Bm

In hopes that Saint Nicholas
Am
D

soon would be there
G
Bm

The children were nestled
Am
G

all snug in their beds
Bm

While visions of sug ar plums
G
C
Am

danced in their heads
D

And Ma in her kerchief
C

and I in my cap
Bm
C
Bm
Am

Had just settled down for a long winter nap
G
Em
C

When out on the lawn
D
Bm

there arose such a clatter
Em
D

I sprang from my bed
C
D

to see what was the matter
Em
D

The moon on the crest
Em

of the new -fallen snow
D
C
Bm

Gave a luster of midday
A
D

to objects below
G
Bm

Then what to my wondering
Am
G

eye s should appear

But a miniature sleigh
Bm
C
Am

and eight tiny reindeer
D
C
Bm

With a little old driver so lively and quick
C
Bm
Am
D
Am

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick
D
Em
D

A round little face and a round little belly
Bm
C
Bm

That shook when he laughed
C
D

like a bowl full of jelly
Em
D

His eyes how they twinkled,
Em
D

his dimples how merry,
C
Bm

his cheeks were like roses,
Am

his nose like a cherry.
D
G
Bm

He spoke not a word,
Am

but went straight to his work.
D
G
Bm

He filled all the stockings,
C
D

then turned with a jerk,
Am
D
C
Bm

And laying his finger aside at his nose
C
Bm
A
D

Then giving a nod up the chimneys
Em
C

He sprang to his sleigh,
D
Bm

to the team gave a whistle
Em
D

And away they all flew
C
D

like the down on a thistle
Em
D

But I heard him explain,
Em
D

as he drove out of sight,
C
D

Merry Christmas to all,
C
D
C
D

Merry Christmas to all,
C
D

Merry Christmas to all,
C
D

Merry Christmas to all,
C
Bm

Merry to all, to all,
Am
D
G

And to all, a good night

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • 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.
