[Verse 1]
C         Dm6            Em   Am/F
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
C    C6    C7              F   E/G#
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Am        Fm6/Ab       C/G       B
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
EMaj7         Bb7/F       G
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

[Verse 2]
C       Dm7
Everybody knows a turkey
Em      Am/F
and some mistletoe
C      C6 C7          F   E/G#
Help to make the season bright
Am   Fm6/Ab          C/G      B
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Em           Am      G           C
Will find it hard to fall asleep tonight

[Bridge]
Gm7            Am7/F
They know that Santa's on his way
Bb/G
He’s loaded lots of toys
Gm/C           Am7/F
and goodies on his sleigh
Ab/F           Ab/Bb    Bb/Eb
And every mother’s child is gonna spy
D7
To see if reindeer
Fm6/D  G
really know how to fly.

[Verse 3]
C      Dm6
And so I’m offering this
Em           Am/F
simple phrase
C    C6   C7            F    E/G#
To kids from one to ninety-two
Am               Fm/Ab
Although it's been said
C/G         B/F#
many times, many ways
F     C/G   Dm/G   C
Merry Christmas to you.
