[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][C][Am][G][C][D]

[Verse 1]
It [G]Was
Almost Christ[D]mas Time [Em]It There
I stood in an[D]other line
Try[C]in' to buy that last [D]gift or two
[Am]Not really in the
[D]Christmas mood
[G]Standin' right [D]in front of me
Was a [Em]little boy waiting [D]anxiously
Pa[C]cing around like [D]little boys do
And [Am]in his hand he[D] had a pair of s[G]hoes
[D]And his [Em]clothes were worn and old
[G]He was [Em]dirty from head [D]to toe
An[Am]d when it came his[G] time to pay
I [C]couldn't believe what I [D]heard him say
Sir, I want to [A]buy these shoes
[E]For my mam[F#m]a, please
[A]It's [D]Christmas Eve
and these [Esus4]shoes are just her siz[A]e
[F#m]Could [E]you hurry,[A] sir?
[E]Daddy said there's not[F#m] much time
[A]You [D]see, she's been sick [E]for quite a while
And I [D]know these shoes
[E]will make her smile
And I [D]want her to look beau[E]tiful
If [Bm]Mama [A]meets [D]Jesus [E]tonight
[A]The[E]y c[F#m]ounted[E] pe[D]nni[A]es
for what [E]seemed like years
Cash[F#m]ier said,
son, there's [E]not enough here
[D]He searched his pockets frantic[E]ally
Then [Bm]he turned and he
[E]looked at me and he said
[A]Mama made Christmas
[E]good in our house
[F#m]Most years she just d[E]id without
Tell [D]me, sir, what am I
[E]gonna do somehow?
[Bm]I've gotta buy [E]her these Christmas [A]shoes
[E]So I [F#m]laid the money d[A]own
I just [F#m]had to help him ou[E]t
And I [Bm]couldn't believe [A]the look
on his face when he said
[D]Mama's gonna look [A]so [Esus4]great[E]
Sir, [B]I wanna buy these shoes
[F#]For my momma[G#m], please
[B]It's [E]Christmas Eve
and these [F#sus4]shoes are just
her [B]size[G#m]
[F#]Could you [B]hurry, sir?
[F#]Daddy said there's not m[G#m]uch time
[B]You see, [E]she's been sick
[F#]for quite a while
And I [E]know these shoes
[F#]will make her smile
And I [E]want her to look beau[F#]tiful
If [C#m]mama m[B]eets J[E]esus t[F#]onight
[B]I know I cau[C#m]ght a glimpse
of heav[B]en's love
As he [F#]turned and then ran [G#m]out
I know that [A]God had sent that little [E]boy
To re[F#sus4]mind me[F#]
What [C#m]Christmas is all [F#sus4]about
[F#]Sir, I want to b[B]uy these shoes
[F#]for my mama,[G#m] please.
It's [E]Christmas Eve
and these [F#sus4]shoes are just[F#] her size.[B]
[G#m]Could [F#]you hurry,[B] sir?
[F#]Daddy said there's not m[G#m]uch time.
[B]You see, [E]she's been sick [F#]for quite a while
And I [E]know these shoes
[F#]will make her smile
And I [E]want her to look beau[F#]tiful
If [C#m]Mama m[B]eets J[E]esus t[F#]onight[B]
I [E]want her to look [F#sus4]beautiful
[B]If Mam[C#m]a meet[B]s Je s[E]us [F#sus4]tonight
