White Christmas



White Christmas

By Irving Berlin

A D Bm E E7 D Bm E A Bm E

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas just like the ones I used to know

A A7 D Dm

Where the tree tops glisten and children listen

A D F#m7 Bm E E7

To hear sleigh bells in the snow

A D Cm7b5 Bm E E7 D Bm E A

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas with every Christmas card I write

D A A7 D Dm

May your days be merry and bright

A F#m7 Bm E A

And may all your Christmas's be white,

The Christmas Song

By Mel Torme, Robert Wells

The guitar chords and lyrics for 'The Christmas Song':

Db6 Ebm7 Fm7 Gbmaj7 (Fm7 Ebm7)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Db6 Abm7 Db7 Gbmaj7 B9

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Db6 B9 Bbm7 Gm7 Gb7

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

Fmaj7 F#m7 B9 Emaj7 Ebm7 D9

And folks dressed up like Eskimos.......everybody

Db6 Ebm7 Fm7 Gbmaj7 (Fm7 Ebm7)

knows a turkey and some mistletoe

Db6 Abm7 Db7 Gbmaj7 B9

Help to make the season bright

Db6 B9 Bbm7 Gm7 Gb7

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Fm7 E9 Ebm7 D9 Db6

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

Abm7 Db7 Gbmaj7

They know that Santa's on his way

Abm7 Db7 Gbmaj7

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

F#m7 B7 Emaj7

And every mother's child is gonna spy

Eb7 Ab7

To see if reindeer really know how to fly

Db6 Ebm7 Fm7 Gbmaj7 (Fm7 Ebm7)

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

Db6 Abm7 Db7 Gbmaj7 B9

To kids from one to ninety-two

Db6 B9 Bbm7 Gm7 Gb7

Although it's been said many times, many ways

Fm7 E9 Ebm7 Ab7 Db6

Merry Christmas to you

Frosty the Snow Man [C] was a jolly happy soul [F] [C]

With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose [F] [C] and two eyes made out of

coal. [G7] [C] [G7]

Frosty the Snow Man is a fairy tale they say [C] [F] [C]

He was made of snow [F F#dim] but the children know [C Am] how he came to

life one day. [Dm7 G7 C]

There must have been some magic in [F] [Em7] [A7] that old silk hat they

found, [Dm7] [G7] [Cmaj7]

For when they put it on his head [G G#dim] he began to dance around. [Am7]

[D7] [G] [G7]

Oh, Frosty the Snow Man [C] was alive as he could be, [F] [F#dim] [C]

And the children say [F] he could laugh and play [Em7] [A7] just the same as

you and me. [Dm7] [G7] [C]

Frosty the Snow Man [C] knew the sun was hot that day, [F] [C]

So he said, "Let's run [F] and we'll have some fun [C] now before I melt

away." [G7] [C] [G7]

Down to the village [C] with a broomstick in his hand, [F] [C]

Running here and there [F] [F#dim] all around the square, [C] [Am] saying

"Catch me if you can." [Dm7] [G7] [C]

He led them down the streets of town [F] [Em7] [A7] right to the traffic cop,

[Dm7] [G7] [Cmaj7]

And he only paused a moment [G] [G#dim] when he heard him holler, [Am7] [D7]

"Stop!" [G] [G7]

For Frosty the Snow Man [C] had to hurry on his way, [F] [F#dim] [C]

But he waved good-bye, [F] saying, "Don't you cry; [Em7] [A7] I'll be back

again some day." [Dm7] [G7] [C]

Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpety

thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow. [C] [G7] [G7] [G7] [C]

Verse 2:

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming

With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand

So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming

Here came the wise men from Orient land

The King of Kings, lay thus in lowly manger

In all our trials born to be our friend

He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger

Behold, your king

Before Him lowly bend

Behold, your king before Him lowly bend

Verse 3:

Truly He taught us to love one another

His law is love, and His gospel is peace

Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother

And in His name all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we

Let all within us praise His holy name

Christ is the Lord, O praise His name forever

His power and glory ever more proclaim

O Come, All Ye Faithful

Attributed to John Francis Wade(ca. 1711-1786)

O come, all ye faithful,

Joyful and triumphant,

O come ye,

O come ye to Bethlehem;

Come and behold Him

Born the King of angels;

O come, let us adore Him,

O come, let us adore Him,

O come, let us adore Him,

Christ, the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels,

Sing in exultation,

Sing, all ye citizens

of heaven above;

Glory to God,

Glory in the highest;

O come, let us adore Him,

O come, let us adore Him,

O come, let us adore Him,

Christ, the Lord.

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,

Born this happy morning,

Jesus, to Thee be

all glory given;

Son of the Father,

Now in flesh appearing;

O come, let us adore Him,

O come, let us adore Him,

O come, let us adore Him,

Christ, the Lord.

All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth

Don Gardner for Spike Jones

'Twas1 the night before Christmas and all through the house

not a creature2 was stirring3, not even a mouse.

Suddenly I heard a strange noise

down below4, so in my flannel5 pajamas I went tippy toe6.

I could see old Saint Nick7 from the spot8 where I stood,

so I slipped9 down the bannister10 just as fast as I could.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth...

See my two front teeth!

Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, then I could wish you Merry Christmas!

It seems so long since I could say

"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle.11"

Every time I try to speak all I do is whistle.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth...

See my two front teeth.

Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, then I could wish you Merry Christmas!

[interlude]

Good old Santa Claus and all his reindeer12...

They used to bring me lots of toys and candy.

Gee, but now when I go out and call Dancer13, Prancer, Donner and Blitzen, none of them can understand me!

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth...

See my two front teeth?

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth so I can wish you Merry Christmas! Christmas...Christmas. Oh, for goodness sakes, Happy New Year!

Let It Snow!

Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne (c) 1945

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,

But the fire is so delightful,

And since we've no place to go,

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

It doesn't show signs of stopping,

And I brought some corn for popping;

The lights are turned way down low,

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

When we finally say good night,

How I'll hate going out in the storm;

But if you really hold me tight,

All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,

And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,

But as long as you love me so.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Do You Hear What I Hear

Said the night wind to the little lamb,

do you see what I see

Way up in the sky, little lamb,

do you see what I see

A star, a star, dancing in the night

With a tail as big as a kite

With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,

do you hear what I hear

Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,

do you hear what I hear

A song, a song, high above the trees

With a voice as big as the sea

With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,

do you know what I know

In your palace warm, mighty king,

do you know what I know

A Child, a Child shivers in the cold

Let us bring Him silver and gold

Let us bring Him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere,

listen to what I say

Pray for peace, people everywhere!

listen to what I say

The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night

He will bring us goodness and light

He will bring us goodness and light

Go, Tell It On The Mountain

While shepherds kept their watching

Over silent flocks by night,

Behold throughout the heavens,

There shone a holy light:

Go, Tell It On The Mountain,

Over the hills and everywhere;

Go, Tell It On The Mountain

That Jesus Christ is born.

The shepherds feared and trembled

When lo! above the earth

Rang out the angel chorus

That hailed our Saviour's birth:

Go, Tell It On The Mountain,

Over the hills and everywhere;

Go, Tell It On The Mountain

That Jesus Christ is born.

Down in a lowly manger

Our humble Christ was born

And God send us salvation,

That blessed Christmas morn:

Go, Tell It On The Mountain,

Over the hills and everywhere;

Go, Tell It On The Mountain

That Jesus Christ is born.

When I am a seeker,

I seek both night and day;

I seek the Lord to help me,

And He shows me the way:

Go, Tell It On The Mountain,

Over the hills and everywhere;

Go, Tell It On The Mountain

That Jesus Christ is born.

He made me a watchman

Upon the city wall,

And if I am a Christian,

I am the least of all.

Go, Tell It On The Mountain,

Over the hills and everywhere;

Go, Tell It On The Mountain

That Jesus Christ is born.
