When I was but a young-ster 
  -7   -7    8   -7    7
Christ-mas meant one thing
 -7  -8  -8 -8   -7   -6  7   -8   -7   7
That I'd be get-ting lots of toys that day
6    7    7  -5    6  -6    -7
I learned a whole lot dif-f’rent 
 -7   7   7   5  -5  6
when moth-er sat me down
 6    -5   -5 -5  -5    -6*   7    -7   7
And taught me to spell Christ-mas this way
7 7   7  -6    -6     6
C is for the Christ-child 
 8   8  8   -8  -7
born up-on this day
8  7   7   7  -7  7   7   6   -5
H for her-ald an-gels in the night
7   7    7  -6  -6  6  8   8   8  -8 -7
R means our Re-deem-er I means Is-ra-el
-8-7  7  -6*  -6   -4    6   -5   5
S is for the star that shone so bright
-55* -5    6    -6  -7
T is for three wise men 
 7    7   5    -5   6
they who trav-eled far
-5-5 -5  -5   8   8   -8   -7  7
M is for the man-ger where He lay
 7   7   7  -6   -6     6
A's for all He stands for 
8   8    8    -8    -7                                
S means shep-herds came
-7    -8   -7    7    -6*  -6   -4   4
And that's why there's a Christ-mas Day
-7    -8   -7    7    -6*  -6   -4   4
And that's why there's a Christ-mas Day
