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