(G5) (F5) (C5) (G5) (F major)
(F5) (C5) (C major) (G major) (G5) (G major) (G5) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (G5)
Twas (C5) the
Verse 1
(G5) night before Christmas
when all through (G major) the house (C major)
Not (G major) a creature was (G5) hurt, (G major)
not even a mouse
(Gsus4) The (G major) (G5) stockings were hung
by the chim (G minor) ney with (G5) care
(C major) An (G5) d hopeless and Nicholas
soon would (G major) be dead
(C major) Chil (G major) dren (D minor) would nestle,
all snug (F5) in their beds
While visions of sugarplums
(C5) danced in their heads (G5) (G major) (Gsus4) (C major)
Mama (G major) in (G5) her (G major) kerchief (G5) and I in my cap
(C major) Had (Gsus4) to (G major) settle our brain
(G5) s for (G minor) a longer nap (G5)
(C major) When (G5) out on the lawn
(G major) there (G5) arose (G major) such a clat (C major) ter
I sprang (G major) from the bed to see
what (Gsus4) was the matter
Away (G major) (D minor) to the window, I flew (F5) like a flash
Tore open the shutters
an (F major) d threw (C5) up the sash (C major)
(G5) (G major) (Gsus4) (C major) (G major) (G5)
The (C5) moon on the breast
of the new fallen snow
(C major) Gave the (F5) luster of midday
to object (F major) s below
But (D minor) much of my wandering
eye (F major) s (F5) should appear
(C5) Born (C major) a (C5) military slave
and anytime he raked (C major) in
A (F major) little old driver, (F5) so lively and (F major) quick
I (D minor) knew in a moment, (F major)
(F5) it must have saved (C5) him (G major) (Gsus4)
For (G5) af ter the eagles,
his causes (G major) they (Gsus4) became
(C major) And he (G5) whistled and shouted,
he called them by name
(C major) Now (G5) dasher, now dancer,
now pran (G major) cer or (Gsus4) vix (C major) en
I'll (G major) carve it, I'll keep (G5) it,
I'll dauber (Gsus4) and blitz
(G major) From the (D minor) top of the porch
to the (F5) top of the wall
(F major) Now dash away, dash away,
(C5) dash away (C major) (G major) all! (G5) (Gsus4)
(G major) Strong (G5) knees (B flat5) out before
the wild hurricane fly
When they (E flat major) meet with an
optical mount to sky
So (B flat5) up to the house (B flat minor) top,
(B flat5) the courses they flew
With a (E flat major) sleigh full of toys
and some Nicholas too
(C minor) A man in a twinklin'
(C5) I heard on the roof
The (F5) price and the point of each little hoop
As (F major) I (C minor) drew in (C5) my head
and was turnin' around
(C minor) Down (C5) the (F major) chimney
St. (F5) Nicholas
came (F major) with a bow, yeah (G major)
He was (G5) dressed all (G minor) in fur
from (G5) his head (G major) to his foot
And his clothes were all tarnished
with (G5) ashes an (G major) d soot
A bundle of (G5) toys (G major) he (G5) had
clun (G major) g on his back (C major)
An (G major) d he looked like a peddler
just opening his (Gsus4) pack (G major)
His (D minor) eyes held a twinkle,
his dimples (F5) held a merry
Cheeks like roses,
(C major) his nose (C minor) like (C5) a cherry (C major) (G5) (G major) (Gsus4)
His (G major) (G minor) droll little mouth was
grown up like (G major) a bowl
(C major) And the (G major) beat of his chin was
as white as snow (Gsus4)
(C major) The (G major) stuff of (G5) his pipe
he (G minor) held tight in (G major) his teeth (C major)
And the (G5) smoky that circled (G major)
his head like a wreath
Had (D minor) a broad face and a (F5) little round belly
(F major) That (F5) shook when he laughed
like (C major) a bowl (C5) full of jelly (C major)
(G minor) (G5) (G major) (Gsus4) (C major) (G major)
He was (C major) chubby and plump,
(C5) a right (C major) jolly old elf
A (F major) laughing old soul in spite of myself
A (D minor) wink of his eye an (F major) d
a twist of his (C major) head
Soon he gave me to know
I had nothing to dread
He (F major) spoke not a word
but went straight to his word
And filled all (D minor) the stockings
(F major) and turned with a (C major) jerk
Laying his finger aside of the doors
And (F major) giving a nod up the chimney rose
He sprang to his leg
(D minor) to (F major) his cheek and whistled (C major)
And away they all flew,
like a down on a vessel
Hurriedly (F major) they swayed,
and drove out of sight
Happy Christ (D minor) mas to all, (F major)
and to all good night (F major) you
Was The Night
