The season is upon us now D A7 G D

A time for gifts and giving G A D

And as the year draws to its close D A7 G D

I think about my living Em7 A7 D

The Christmas time when I was young, The magic and the wonder, But colors

dull and candles dim, And dark my standing under

Oh little Zachary, shining light Bm E A G

You�ve set my soul to dreaming D A7 D

You�ve given back my joy in life Bm E A G

And filled me with new meaning D A7 D

A Savior King was born that day, A baby just like you, And as the Magi

came with gifts, I come with my gift too

That peace on Earth fills up your time, That brotherhood surrounds you.

That you may know the warmth of love, And wrap it all around you

It�s just a wish, a dream I�m told Bm E7 A G

From days when I was young D A7 D

Merry Christmas, little Zachary G A7 D Bm

Merry Christmas, ev�ryone Em A7 D

Merry Christmas, little Zachary G A7 D Bm

Merry Christmas, ev�ryone Em A7 D

Away in a manger, D

no crib for a bed G D

The little Lord Jesus A7

lay down his sweet head G D

The stars in the sky D

look down where he lay G D

The little Lord Jesus A7 D

asleep on the hay Em A7 D

The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes; But little Lord Jesus, no crying

He makes; I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky; And stay by my

cradle 'til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay, Close by me forever, and love

me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for

Heaven to live with Thee there.

Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas day C G D7 Em

Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains. C G D7 G

All of the good gifts given today; C G D7 Em

Ours is the sky and the wide open range. C G D7 G

Back in the cities, they have different ways, Football and eggnog and

Christmas parades. I'll take the blanket; I'll take the reins; Christmas

for Cowboys and wide open plains.

A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night; The stars overhead are the

Christmas-tree lights. The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray;

Christmas for Cowboys and the wide open plains.

It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, Drivin' the cattle on the

snow-covered plains. So many gifts have been opened today; Ours is the sky

and the wide open range. It's Christmas for Cowboys and wide open plains.

The first Noel the angel did say, C Am G F C F C

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel C Em F C G

Born is the King of Israel. F G F C F G C G7 C

They looked up and saw a star, Shining in the East, beyond them far; And

to the earth it gave good light; And so it continued both day and night.

This star drew nigh to the North West, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,

And there it did stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Then enter'd in there Wise Men three Full rev'rently on bended knee, And

offered there in His presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

Whisper what you'll bring to me; tell me if you can F C G7 C

Down the chimney, broad and black, with your pack you'll creep

All the stockings you will find hanging in a row

Mine will be the shortest one, you'll be sure to know

Bobby wants a pair of skates, Suzy wants a sled

Nellie wants a picture book, yellow, blue, and red

Now I think I'll leave to you what to give the rest

Choose for me, dear Santa Claus; you will know the best.

Can't you hear the prayers G Em

of every childlike heart tonight F D

Rockies are callin', Denver snow fallin' C G

Somebody said it's four feet deep D G

But it doesn't matter, give me the laughter C G

I'm gonna choose to keep... D D7

Another tender Tennessee Christmas G C

The only Christmas for me D G

Where the love circles around us Em Am7

Like the gifts around our tree C D

Well, I know there's more snow up in Colorado G Bm

Than my roof will ever see Dm7 C

But a tender Tennessee Christmas C D G

is the only Christmas for me. C D G

Every now and then I get a wandering urge to see G Em F D

Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town's for me G Em F D

There's a parade there, we'd have it made there C G

Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve D G

Sure sounds inviting, awfully exciting C G

Still I think I'm gonna keep... D D7

Another tender Tennessee Christmas G C

The only Christmas for me D G

Where the love circles around us Em Am7

Like the gifts around our tree C D

Well, they say in L.A. it's a warm holiday G Bm

It's the only place to be Dm7 C

But a tender Tennessee Christmas C D G

is the only Christmas for me. C D G

#Starting note: A

Up on the housetop, reindeer pause D

Out jumps good ol' Santa Claus G D A

Down through the chimney with lots of toys D

All for the little ones, Christmas joys G D A7 D

Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go? G D

Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go? A7 D

Up on the housetop, click, click, click. D G

Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick D A7 D

First comes the stocking of little Nell, O dear Santa, fill it well; Give

her a dolly that laughs and cries, One that will open and shut her eyes

Next comes the stocking of little Bill, Oh just see what a glorious fill.

Here is a hammer and lots of tacks, Also a ball and a whip that cracks.

We three kings of Orient are Em B7 Em

Bearing gifts we traverse afar Em B7 Em

Field and fountain, moor and mountain Em D G

Following yonder star Am Em B7 Em

O D D7

star of wonder star of night G C G

Star with royal beauty bright G C G

Westward leading still proceeding Em D C D

Guide us to thy perfect light G C G

Born a king on Bethlehem plain. Gold I bring to crown him again. King

forever ceasing never. Over us all to reign.

Frankincense to offer have I. Incense owns a deity night. Prayer and

praising, all men raising. Worship Him, God on high.

Myrrh is mine; it's bitter perfume. Breathes a life of gathering gloom.

Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in a stone cold tomb.

Glorious now behold him arise, King and God, and sacrifice; Heaven sings

Alleluia; Alleluia the earth replies.

We wish you a merry Christmas G C

Good tidings to you C D

Wherever you are A9 D

Good tidings for Christmas G

And a Happy New Year Am D7 G

Oh, bring us a figgy pudding... and a cup of good cheer.

We won't go until we get some... so bring some out here.

We wish you a merry Christmas... and a Happy New Year

What Child is this, who laid to rest, Em G D Bm

On Mary's lap is sleeping? Em Bm

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet Em G D Bm

While shepherds watch are keeping? Em B7 Em

This, this is Christ the King Bm G D Bm

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. Em Bm

Haste, haste to bring Him laud, Bm G D Bm

The Babe, the Son of Mary. Em B7 Em

Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good

Christian, fear for sinners here, The silent Word is pleasing. (repeat

refrain)

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh; Come, peasant king, to own Him. The

King of Kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone Him. (repeat

refrain)
