C   Am  Em  G   C
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
C                     Am             Em
A neighbor tipped his hat to me this morning
    F                             Em        G  
The landlord even smiled and said good day
    Am            Fm     Em               Am
And I want you to know a stranger said hello
D7                      G
Christmas can't be far away

[Verse 2]
    C                 Am               Em
Old tide-wad down the street is buying candy
   F                                Em    G
To pass out to the neighbor kids at play  
    Am             Fm     Em               Am
The town is on the go the weather man said snow
D7                 G    F   C
Christmas can't be far away

[Chorus]
    F                                    Em
The small fry on our block have all been saving
    Dm7                G                  C
And now they're hiding things and looking sly
E7                                  Am          
Mom will get that do-dat she's been craving
    D                                G  G7
And dad will get his usual Christmas tie
     C                 Am                Em
Both young and old are planning sweet surprises
        F                                    Em   G
They'll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay
     Am             Fm      Em           Am
Good will is in the air you feel it everywhere
D7                 G    C
Christmas can't be far away

[Chorus]
    F                                    Em
The small fry on our block have all been saving
    Dm7                G                  C
And now they're hiding things and looking sly
E7                                  Am          
Mom will get that do-dat she's been craving
    D                                G  G7
And dad will get his usual Christmas tie
     C                 Am                Em
Both young and old are planning sweet surprises
        F                                    Em   G
They'll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay
     Am             Fm      Em           Am
Good will is in the air you feel it everywhere
D7                 G   C
Christmas can't be far a-way
Am   Em   Dm7  C
Awh, awh, awh, awh
