Nat King Cole
By: Bok Gerry Mostoles Parinas
Snappy Class of ‘91 Fort del Pilar
CAPO 1
C6 Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7 (Em7 Dm7)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
C6 Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Bb9
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
C6 Bb9 Am7 F#m7 F7
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
Emaj7 Fm7 Bb9 Ebmaj7 Dm7 Db9
And folks dressed up like Eskimos...............everybody
C6 Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7 (Em7 Dm7)
knows a turkey and some mistletoe
C6 Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Bb9
Help to make the season bright
C6 Bb9 Am7 F#m7 F7
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Em7 Eb9 Dm7 Eb9 C6
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7
They know that Santa's on his way
Gm7 C7sus-C7 Fmaj7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
Fm7 Bb7sus-Bb7 Ebmaj7
And every mother's child is gonna spy
D7 G7
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
C6 Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7 (Em7 Dm7)
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
C6 Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Bb9
To kids from one to ninety-two
C6 Bb9 Am7 F#m7 F7
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Em7 Eb9 Dm7 G7 C6
Merry Christmas to you
