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
