E A C#m D
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Bm A E A
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
E D A
All the stockings were hung by the chimney with care
Bm A E A
In the hope that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.
D Bm E A
Then, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
Bm E A
A miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
D A
A little old driver so lively and quick,
B E
I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick.
A C#m D A
And more rapid than eagles his reindeer all came
Bm A D A
As he shouted On Dasher? and each reindeers name.
E A B C#m D A
And so up to the housetop the reindeer soon flew
Bm A E A
With the sleigh full of toys and Saint Nicholas, too.
E D A
Down the chimney he came with a leap and a bound
Bm A E A
He was dressed all in fur, and his belly was round.
Bm A
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work,
C# E A
And filled all the stocking, then turned with a jerk.
D E A
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
B F#m B A
Then giving a nod up the chimney he rose.
C#m D A
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
Bm A
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night
A C#m D A
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
Bm A F#m C#
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night
