Verse 1
G
Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house
C
Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.
G
The stockings were hung by
the chimney with care,
C
G
D
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon
would be there.
C
The children were nestled
Verse 2
G
Gm
all snug in their beds,
G
While visions of sugar- plum
C
s danced in their heads.
And mama in her 'kerchief,
G
Gm
and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains
C
G
D
for a long winter's nap.
Verse 3
G
When out on the lawn there
Gm
G
arose such a clatter,
Em
I sprang from the bed to see
D
G
what was the matter.
C
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters
Am
and threw up the sash.
Verse 4
C
the breast
D
of the new- fallen snow
Gave the luster of mid- day
to objects below.
G
When, what to my wondering
eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh,
C
and eight tinny reindeer.
Verse 5
G
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
D
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
G
More rapid than eagles
his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted,
Verse 6
and called them by name!
G
C
"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now,
Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on,
G
on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch!
to the top of the wall!
D
Now dash away! Dash
C
G
away! Dash away all!"
Verse 7
G
Gm
As dry leaves that before
G
C
the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle,
mount to the sky.
G
So up to the house- top the coursers they flew,
D
With the sleigh full of Toys,
G
and St Nicholas too.
Verse 8
G
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
Em
D
G
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
C
As I drew in my head,
and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas
Am
came with a bound.
Verse 9
C
He was dressed all in fur,
D
from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished
G
with ashes and soot.
C
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler,
Am
just opening his pack.
Verse 10
G
His eyes- how they twinkled!
his dimples how merry!
D
His cheeks were like roses,
G
his nose like a cherry!
C
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as
G
white as the snow.
Verse 11
G
The stump of a pipe he held
tight in his teeth,
D
And the smoke it encircled
his head like a wreath.
G
He had a broad face and
a little round belly,
C
That shook when he laughed,
like a bowlful of jelly!
Verse 12
G
He was chubby and plump,
a right jolly old elf,
D
And I laughed when I saw him,
G
in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Em
Soon gave me to know
G
I had nothing to dread.
Verse 13
C
He spoke not a word,
but went straight to his work,
Am
And filled all the stockings,
G
then turned with a jerk.
C
D
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod,
G
up the chimney he rose!
Verse 14
G
He sprang to his sleigh,
to his team gave a whistle,
C
And away they all flew like
the down of a thistle.
G
But I heard him exclaim,
'ere he drove out of sight,
D
"Happy Christmas to all,
G
and to all a good- night!"
