Intro: Em C Em C Am



G           C              Am
I heard the sidewalk Santa say
      Em               C         G  D  Am
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
G           C              Am
Salvation's coming cheap today
      Em               C         G  D  Am
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
G              C             Am
I searched the skyline for a star
      Em               C         G  D  Am
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
     G       C                  Am
And, baby, I wondered where you are
      Em               C         G  D C
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
                     Am            C
'Cause comfort's not possible when
                  Am
You look past the joy to the end


G          C    Em      Am 
Calling on Mary is voluntary
G              C         Em  D
Unless you're alone like me
             Em    C                G          D
If there's a star above, then it can  look like  love
          Em           C         G    Am
When they light up the Christmas tree



G          C                 Am
When I was young, I couldn't see
      Em               C         G  D  Am
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
G           C                 Am
All that my true love gave to me
      Em               C         G  D  C
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
            Am                 C
She offered sight to the blind
                Am  
But I'm not the miracle kind


G          C    Em      Am 
Calling on Mary is voluntary
G              C         Em  D
Unless you're alone like me
             Em    C                G          D
If there's a star above, then it can  look like  love
Em                     C         G    
When they light up the Christmas tree



F              C                 G
And to all the lost souls down below
      Em               C         G  F
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
                C              G
What's one more drifter in the snow?
      Em               C          
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
      G                D
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas


      Em           C                G          D
If there's a star above, then it can  look like  love
          Em           C         G    
When they light up the Christmas trees
           Em      C                G          D
If there's a star above, then it can  look like  love
          Em           C         G    
When they light up the Christmas tree
