Verse 1

The
D

Night

Before

Christmas
G

T 'was the night before
D

Christmas, when all through the house,
G

not a creature was stirring,
A
D

not even a mouse.
G

The stockings were hung
D

by the chimney with care,
G

in hopes that
D

Santa soon would be there.
A
G
D

And with their best blankets and

sweet sleeping caps,

they just settled down for a

long winter's nap.
F#m
D

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,


they sprung from their beds
Bm

to see what was the matter.
D

Away to the window they flew like a flash,


tore open the shutters and threw

up the sash.

The moonlight glittered on
G

the new -fallen snow.

The children gazed out

at the garden below.
A

When what did they see?
D

Oh, what did appear?
A
D

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
G
D

with a little old driver so lively and quick.

This was
G

Santa,
D

Father
A
D

Christmas, this was

Saint
G

Nick.
D
G
A
D

More rapid than eagles his reindeer they came,
Bm

and he whistled and shouted and called them
D

by name.

Now

Dasher, now

Dancer, now
G

Prancer and
D

Vixen,

O

Comet,

O

Cupid,

O

Donner and

Blitzen,
F#m

To the top of the porch,
D

to the top of the wall,
G
A

Now dash away, dash away,
D

dash away all!
G

And then the children heard

on the roof
Bm

The prancing and pawing
G

of each little hoof,

As they blinked in surprise and

turned right around.
A

Down the chimney,
G

Saint
Bm

Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur,
G

from his head to his foot,
Bm
D

and his clothes were all dirty

with ashes and soot.
G
Bm

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
G
D
A

with candy canes poking right out of his pack.
Bm

His eyes, how they twinkled!
D

His dimples, how merry!
G

His cheeks were like roses,
A

his nose like a cherry.
Bm

His happy little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
D
A

and the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
G
D

His boots were deep black, so white were his teeth,
Bm
G

with his white and red hats on his head like a wreath.
A
D
Bm

He had a broad face and a little round belly that
G

shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.
A
Bm
D

He was chubby and plump, a jolly old elf,
Bm
G

and the children they laughed in spite of

themselves.
A
Bm

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
D

from this jolly elf they had nothing to dread.
A

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

and filled all the stockings, then

turned with a jerk,
D

and laying his finger on the side of his nose, and giving a nod

And up the chimney he rose.
G

He sprang to his sleigh,
D

to his team gave a whistle,
G

And away they all flew,

like the fluff on a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim,
D

as he flew out of sight,

Happy
G
D

Christmas to all, 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.
