F              C/E     Bb/D               F/C
  Snow covered rooftops,   lights on the trees
Bb             F/A            Gm         C
  The sound of singing I hear down every street
F               C/E     Gm6     A      Dm   C
  Families have gathered   from miles away
Bb         F/C                   C   D   
  Oh merry Christmas, it's Christmas day


[Verse 2]
(Key = D)

D              A/C#    G/B            D/A
  You see that old tree   down Cotton Lane
G                   D/F#          Em         A
  Those lights keep shining, it's always the same
D             A/C#        Em6      F#     Bm  A 
  We hear the church bells    ring out to say
G          D/A                   A   B
  Oh merry Christmas, it's Christmas day
G          D/A                   A   B   
  Oh merry Christmas, it's Christmas day


[Chorus]
(Key = F#)

B                                C#7/B
  String the lights and hang the stockings
G                        C#7/B
  Decorate with green and red
B                          C#7/B
  Made the cookies for ol' Santa
B                       C#7/B
  Made a runway for his sled

(Key of A)

D                     E7/D
  Singing carols on a sleigh ride
D                          E7/D
  Gather 'round the manger scene
D                         E7/D
  Open presents, read the letters
D            E       F#
And together we will sing


[Verse 3]
(Key = F#)

F#         C#/F     B/Eb           F#/C#
  Oh merry Christmas,   joy to the world
B           F#/Bb       G#m7          C#
  For every nation, for every boy and girl
F#              C#/F  G#m6    Bb       Ebm
  Let's light a candle,   for peace we pray
B          F#/C#           C#        F#
  Oh merry Christmas, it's Christmas day
