Tom: Em
Em D C G/B
And it .. came to pass on a Christmas evening
Am7 G A B
. While all the doors were .. shuttered tight
Em D C G/B
.. Outside standing, .. lonely boy-child
Am7 G B Em
.. Cold and shivering .. in the night
[Verse]
Em D C G/B
.. On the street, .. every window
Am7 G A B
. Save but one, was .. gleaming bright
Em D C G/B
And to this window .. walked the boychild
Am7 G B Em
.. Peeking in saw, .. candle light
[Verse]
Em D C G/B
Through other windows he had looked at turkeys
Am7 G A B
. Ducks and geese, .. cherry pies
Em D C G/B
But through this window saw a grey-haired lady
Am7 G B Em
.. Table bare and .. tears in her eyes
[Verse]
Em D C G/B
Into his coat reached the boy-child
Am7 G A B
Knowing well there was litle there
Em D C G/B
He took from his pocket, his own Christmas dinner
Am7 G B Em
A bit of cheese, some bread ... to share
[Verse]
Em D C G/B
His outstretched hands held the food and they trembled
Am7 G A B
As the door, it opened wide
Em D C G/B
Said he, Would you share with me Christmas dinner
Am7 G B Em
Gently said she, Come inside
[Verse]
Em D C G/B
The grey-haired lady brought forth to the table
Am7 G A B
Glasses two and her last drop of wine
Em D C G/B
Said she, Here's a toast to everyone's Christmas
Am7 G B Em
and especially, ... yours and mine
[Verse]
Em D C G/B
And it came to pass on that Christmas evening
Am7 G A B
While all the doors were shuttered tight
Em D C G/B
That in that town, the happiest Christmas
Am7 G B Em
Was shared by ... candle light
