'Twas The Night Before Christmas chords by

N/A
Verse 1
Gm
G
Gm
G

T 'was the

night before Christmas

when all through the house
Gm

Not a creature was stirring,
F
G

not even a mouse

The stockings were hung

by the chimney with care

In hopes that St. Nicholas

soon would be there

The children were nestled

all snuggled in beds

While visions of sugarplums

danced in their heads

Then Mama and her kerchief

and I and my cap

Had just settled down for

a long winter's nap

When out on the lawn

there arose such a clatter

I sprang from my bed

to see what was the matter

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters

and threw up the sash.

When what to my wondering

eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh

and eight tiny reindeer,

With a little old driver so

lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick,

More rapid than eagles,

his horses they came,

And he whistled and he shouted

and he called them by name,

Now Dasher, now Dancer,

now Prancer and Vixen,

I've gone without you but I'm

down and blitzen,

The top of the fort to the top of the wall,

Now dash away, dash away, dash away all.

So up to the housetop

the horses they flew
C

With a sleigh full of toys
G

and St. Nick's for stew

And then on a twinkling

I heard on the roof

The prance again pawing up each little hoof

As I drew in my head was

turnin' around

Down the chimney

St. Nick came with the bound
F#m
G

He dressed all in fur

from his head to his foot

Clothes were all covered

with ashes and soot

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back

And he looked like a petal

just openin' his pack

His eyes how they twinkled,

his dimples how merry

His cheeks were like roses,

his nose like a cherry

His golden mouth was drawn

up like a bow,

and the beard on his chin

was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe

he held tight in his teeth,

and the smoke in his circle,

his head like a wreath.
Em

He had a broad face
G
Em

and a little round belly,
G

that shook when he laughed

like a bowl full of jelly.

He's chubby and plump,

a right jolly old elf,

and I laughed when I saw him,

in spite of myself.

He spoke not a word,

but went straight to his work,

and filled all the stockings,

and turned with a jerk.
G

Crazy, and layin' his

finger aside off his nose,
G

and givin' a nod up the
G

chimney he rose.

He sprang to a sleigh,

to his theme gave a whistle,

away they all flew

like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim
F

ere he drove out of sight,

Happy 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.
