Introduction: Em A7
Em
I was downtown Christmas shopping
A7
Such a busy city street
C D Em
I don't know how I noticed the piece of paper at my feet
Em A7
But somethin' made me pick it up, instead of goin' on my way
C
I stopped and froze right in my tracks
B Em
As I read what it had to say
G
Oh Santa, if you can't find me
C
We're livin' out here on the street
Em C
But I'll be watchin' for you
Em C
You're not gonna forget me, are you
G
Daddy says he knows you'll try
C D
But we might be too hard to find this year
Em
Oh Santa, I'm right here
Em
It said, we don't have our house no more
A7
I wish we could go home
C D Em
Mama says we will some day and she prays it won't be long
Em A7
But they closed daddy's factory and took most of our things
C
Now Santa, I don't need too much
B Em
So this year could you bring
C
Bring my mom a coat that's warm
G
Cause the one she's got is awful torn
C
Maybe dad could help you work
Am C G C
Makin' toys for boys and girls
CHORUS
