Verse 1
T 'was the (A minor) night before Christmas
and (D major) all through the house
(F major) not a creature was stirring,
(D major) not even a mouse.
The (E flat major) stockings were hung by
the chimney with care
(F major) in hopes that St. (E flat major) Nich
olas soon would be there.
(D major) The children were (F major) nestled
all snug in their beds
while (E flat major) vis ions of sugar (B flat major) plums
danced in (F major) their heads.
(C major) An d (E major) Mama in her kerchief
(E flat major) and I in my (B minor) cap
Had (D major) just settled down for a
(C major) long winter's (F major) nap.
(G sharp minor) When out on the lawn
(F sharp major) there rose such a (G major) clatter,
I sprang from my bed (D major) to see what was
the matter.
(C sharp major) Away to the window I flew like a (G major) flash,
Tore open (G sharp minor) the shutters and
(F major) threw up the sash.
The moon on the (D major) crest
of the new -fallen snow
Gave a luster of midday
(A flat minor) to objects (E flat major) below.
when (F sharp major) what to my won (F major) dering
eyes (E flat major) should appear
(G major) but a miniature sleigh
(C major) and a tiny reindeer (E flat major)
with a (B flat major) little old driver (G major) so lively and quick
(A flat major) I (D flat major) knew in (E flat major) a moment
it (D major) must be st. Nick
more rapid than Eagles his cours
(E flat major) ers they came and he (G sharp minor) whistled and (G major) shouted
and called him by name now
(D major) Dasher now dancer now prancer and vix (F major) en on Comet,
on (G major) Cu pid, on Donner and Blitzen,
to the top of the porch,
to the (F major) top of the wall,
(C major) now dash away, dash (E flat major) away, dash away all.
(G major) As dry leaves that before
the wild hurricane (D major) fly
when they meet with an obstacle
mount to the sky,
(C major) so up to the house (E flat major) top
the coursers (F major) they flew with a sleigh
(E major) full of toys
and Saint Nicholas (F major) too.
(E flat major) An d then in (G major) a twinkling
I (F sharp minor) heard on the roof
the prancing (A major) and pawing
of each little (D major) hoof,
(F major) as I drew in my (A major) head
and was (F sharp minor) turning around, (F major)
(A major) down the chimney
(E flat major) St. Nicholas (D major) came
with a bound. (E flat major)
(A flat minor) He was dressed (A minor) all in fur,
(C sharp major) from (E flat major) his head to his foot,
(E major) and his clothes were all (G sharp minor) tar nished
with ashes and (F major) soot,
(C major) a bundle (F major) of toys he had flung on his back,
and he looked like (D major) a peddler
just opening his (F major) pack.
His (G major) eyes how (F major) they twinkled,
his (C major) dimples how (F major) merry.
His cheeks were like roses,
his nose like a cherry.
(B flat major) His droll little (D major) mouth
was (E flat major) drawn up like a bow,
and the (A major) beard of his chin
(F major) was as white as the snow.
(A minor) The stump (F major) of a pipe
he held tight in his teeth,
(A minor) an d the smoke it (F major) en
circled his head like a wreath.
(E flat major) He (B flat major) had broad face
(F minor) and a little (F major) round belly that (E flat major) shook when he
laughed like a bowl (D major) full of jelly.
(A minor) He was chubby (F major) an d plump,
a right jolly (E flat major) old elf,
(F major) and I laughed (C major) when I saw
him (A minor) in spite of myself.
A (D major) wink of his eye
(E major) and a (D major) twist of his head
soon (F sharp major) gave me to know
(C sharp major) I had (E flat major) nothing to dread.
(F sharp major) He spoke not a word,
but went straight to his work
(F major) an d filled (G major) all the (D major) stockings then
and turned with a (E flat major) jerk,
and laying his (G sharp major) finger aside of his nose,
(A minor) and giving a nod,
up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his (F major) sleigh,
to his (B flat major) team gave a whistle,
(F major) and away they all flew
like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim,
(C major) as he drove out of sight,
Happy Christmas to all,
and to all a good night.
