I think I saw ol' Santa through my window Christmas eve
G D7 G
My eyes were really droopy but I really do believe
Em Bm Em E7
It must've been ol' Santa 'cause I saw his big red hat
Am D7 G F7 E7
And I know my mom and dad can't fly like that, Oh no,
Am D7 G C- C#º- G/D
I know my mom and dad can't fly like that.
G D7 G
And then I heard some footsteps in the hall outside my door
G D7 G
The same ol' Christmas trick my dad had played since I was four
Em Bm Em E7
He stands outside my bedroom yelling "Ho! Ho! Ho!" because
Am D7 G F7 E7
He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus, no way,
Am D7 G C- C#º- G/D
He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus.
Eb Bb Eb
I think my daddy sees me peeking from my door
Fm Gm Bb Eb
But he pretends he's Santa anyway
Eb Bb Eb
Every year he tries to fool me but I'm a big boy now
Fm Bb Eb D7
I don't believe in Santa or his sleigh... No way!
G D7 G
So I went back to my bed and I curled up nice and tight
G D7 G
I stared out of my window and I looked into the night
Em Bm Em E7
And then, all of a sudden, through my window I could see
Am D7 G F7 E7 Am7- D7- G
Santa Claus was flying by and smiling at me
C G
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
D7 G
It must've been ol' Santa Claus
C G
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
D7 G
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you
G D7 G
Then I heard ol' Rudolph tellin' me to come outside
G D7 G
He told me that ol' Santa wanted me to take a ride
Em Bm Em E7
I climbed out of my window and I jumped onto his sleigh
Am D7 G F7 E7
And then ol' Santa took me up and away,
Am D7 G
Santa took me up up and away
G D7 G
We flew high above the rooftops of my sleepy town below
G D7 G
I saw my big red school house and the town square picture show
Em Bm Em
It was really past my bedtime and so ol' Santa said
Am C- C#º- G/D
"Little boys like you should be in bed"
Eb Bb
So I hollered "Ho! Ho! Ho!"
Eb
And I put on Santa's hat
Fm Gm Bb Eb
Then he let me hold the reins a while
Eb Bb Eb
We pulled up to my window and I jumped back in my room
Fm Bb Eb- D7
And I waved goodbye to Santa with a smile
G D7 G
When I woke up Christmas morning, well it was clear and bright
G D7 G
My parents said my window had blown open in the night
Em Bm Em E7
I smiled as I told them that it must've been the cat
Am D7 G F7 E7
And they asked me where I got my big red hat, Yeah yeah!
Am D7 G
They asked me where I got my big red hat.
C G
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
D7 G
It must've been ol' Santa Claus
C G
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
D7 G
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you
D7 G
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you! (18x)
