Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][Em][G][A][G]
[D]Now many

[Verse 1]
many years ago
[G]And still my heart recalls
The gift[A]s beneath the
Christmas tree
That stood [D]so very [A]tall
[Bm]Papa sang [E]the Christmas songs
[A]While Mama danced and [D]smiled
[G]That was my best Christmas[Bm]
[G]When I was just a child
[A]

[Verse 2]
We [D]built a snowman in the park
[Bm]We d[G]ressed him up so fine
[A]We were young and life was fun
[D]The world was yours [A]and mine
[Bm]Beneath the mistle[E]toe we kissed
[A]I whispered 'I love y[D]ou'
[G]That was my best Christ[Bm]mas
When [G]you said you loved me too
[Asus4][A]

[Verse 3]
So let's [G]sing [Bm]'Merry
[G]Christmas'
And hang our Christmas [D]star
[F]A very Merry Christ[C]mas
[Bb]The very [Asus4]best so f[A]ar
[D][G]

[Verse 4]
We woke [D]up to a mountain
of snow
[G]The windows locked in ice
[A]Miles from home, no telephone
The [D]earth lay frozen [A]white
[Bm]The radio played C[E]hristmas songs
[A]The ash burned warm and [D]true
[G]That was my best Christ[Bm]mas
[G]Snowed in all day with
you
[A][Asus4][A]

[Verse 5]
[Eb]The city wore its Christmas clothes
Car[Ab]ols f[Cm]illed the [Ab]air
[Bb]Girls and boys and shiny toys
[Eb]Shoppers filled [Bb]the square
Candy [Cm]canes hung from [F]a cradle
And [Bb]a stocking hung by [Eb]the door
[Ab]That was my best [Cm]Christmas
[Ab]The year our child w[Bbsus4]as born[Bb]

[Verse 6]
So let's [Ab]sing 'Merry
[Cm]Chri[Ab]stmas'
And hang our Christmas [Bb]star[Eb]
A [Gb]very Merry [Db]Christmas
The [B]very [Bbsus4]best so far[Bb]
[Eb]

[Verse 7]
Now many Christmas Days we've shared
And [Ab]once again we are
[Bb]Glad of those that still live close
And [Eb]missing friends [Bb]afar
So [Cm]now we'll make our
Christ[F]mas wish
[Bb]And pray that it is [Eb]heard
[Ab]That everyone's best Christ[Cm]mas
[Ab]Be Peace upon the earth
[Bb][Bbsus4]

[Verse 8]
[Bb]
So let's [Ab]sing [Cm]'Merry [Ab]Christmas'
And hang our Christmas [Bb]star[Eb]
A [Gb]very Merry [Db]Christmas
[B]The very [Bbsus4]best so...[Bb]

[Verse 9]
[Ab]Sing [Cm]'Merry [Ab]Christmas'
And hang our Christ[Bb]mas s[Eb]tar
A [Gb]very Merry [Db]Christmas
[B]The very [Bbsus4]best so
[Bb]far

[Outro 1]
