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]
