The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)
Nat King Cole
Key: Db (Ab harp in 12th position)
-2// -5 5 -4 4 -3/ -3// -3// -3//
Chestnuts roasting on an o-pen fire
-2// -4 4 -3/ -3// -2 -2//
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
-2// -2// -2 -2 -2// -2 -3// 4 -4 5
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
-4 -4/ -4/ 4* -4/ 4 -3/ 4
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
4 -3/ -3// -2 -2// -5 5 -4 4 -3/ -3// 4 4 -3//
Ev - ‘ry - bo - dy knows a turkey and some mi - stle - to - e
-2// -4 4 -3/ -3// -2 -2//
Help to make the season bright
-2// -2// -2 -2// -2 -3// 4 -4 5
Ti - ny tots with their eyes all aglow
-4 4 -2// -4 4 -2// -2 -2//
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
-2// 2 -2// 4* -4 4 -3/ 4
They know that Santa's on his way
-2// 2 -2// 4* -4 4* -4 4* -4 4 -3/ 4
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
-2// 2 -2// -4/ 4* 4* -4/ 4 -3/ -3/// -3/
And every mother's chi-ld is gonna spy
-3/ -3/// -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
-3// -2// -5 5 -4 4 -3/ -3// 4 4 -3//
And so I'm offering this simple phra-ase
1 -2// -4 4 -3/ -3// -2 -2//
To kids from one to ninety-two
-2// -2// 2 -2// -2 -2// -2 -3// 4 -4 5
Although it’s been said ma-ny times, many ways
-5 -4 4 4 -2// -2 -2//
Merry Chris-tma-as to you
