JOLLY OLD SAINT NICHOLAS

Jolly old Saint Nicholas, lean your ear this way [C G7 Am Em]

Don't you tell a single soul what I'm going to say [F C G G7]

Christmas Eve is coming soon; now my dear old man [C G7 Am Em]

Whisper what you'll bring to me; tell me if you can [F C G7 C]

When the clock is striking twelve, when I'm fast asleep

Down the chimney, broad and black, with your pack you'll creep

All the stockings you will find hanging in a row

Mine will be the shortest one, you'll be sure to know

Bobby wants a pair of skates, Suzy wants a sled

Nellie wants a picture book, yellow, blue, and red

Now I think I'll leave to you what to give the rest

Choose for me, dear Santa Claus; you will know the best.

[This chord progression is similar to Pachelbel's Canon in D major. You

can play the "melody" using the available strings. Try it soft and slow

and then jump into these lyrics. It's a kick. sj]
