Christmas Shoes

G             D
It was almost Christmas time,
G             C
There I stood in another line
G                 A
Trying to buy the last gift or two,
G                 D
Not really in the Christmas mood.
G              C
Standing right in front of me
G            A
Was a little boy waiting anxiously,
G                 C
Pacing round like little boys do,
G                 Am
And in his hands, were a pair of 
shoes.
G               D
And his clothes were worn and old.
G            C
He was dirty from head to toe,
G                A
And when it came his time to pay,
C                       D
I couldn't believe what I heard him 
say.

CHORUS

momma please.

D
Could you hurry, Sir?
Em
Daddy says there's not much time.
Fm
You see she's been sick for quite a 
while;
D
And I, know these shoes will make 
her smile.
Em
And I, want her look beautiful if 
Momma meets Jesus tonight.

Verse Two
G                      D
He counted pennies for what seemed 
like years
G                     C
Then the cashier said Son there's 
not enough here.
G               A
He searched his pockets so 
frantically
G                  D
Then he turned and he looked at me.
G                  C             
He said Momma made Christmas 
    Fm
good... At our house
G                 A
Though most years she just did 
without.
G             C
Tell me, Sir, what am I gonna do?
G                           
Somehow I've got to buy these 
  Am
Christmas shoes!
G             D
So I laid the money down;
G      C
I just had to help him out.
G                     A
I'll never forget the look on his 
face
C                   D
When he said Mommas gonna look so 
great!

Repeat Chorus

Verse Three
G                   D
I knew that I got a glimpse of 
heavens love
G             C
As he thanked me and ran out.
G                             A
I knew that God had sent that little
 boy to remind me
G         D
Just what Christmas is all about.
G               C
I got a glimpse of heavens love
G             A
As he thanked me and ran out.
G                        Am
I knew that God had sent that little
 boy to remind me
C         D
Just what Christmas is all about.
