[Verse]
Em        D       C        G/B
.. On the street, .. every window

Em                 D        
But through this window saw a 
 C             G/B
grey-haired lady
Am7         G         B          
.. Table bare and .. tears in her

 eyes

[Verse]
Em        D      C        G/B
Into his coat reached the boy-child
Am7      G                A    B
Knowing well there was litle there
Em                 D         C  
He took from his pocket, his own
           G/B
 Christmas dinner
Am7         G         B          
A bit of cheese, some bread ... 
  Em
to share

[Verse]
Em               D              
His outstretched hands held the 
C               G/B
food and they trembled
Am7      G        A    B
As the door, it opened wide
Em                 D          
Said he, Would you share with me 
    C             G/B
Christmas dinner
Am7         G      B     Em
Gently said she, Come inside

[Verse]
Em               D              
The grey-haired lady brought 
C        G/B
forth to the table
Am7      G            A          
Glasses two and her last drop of 
  B
wine
Em                 D     
Said she, Here's a toast to 
    C             G/B
everyone's Christmas
Am7         G         B         Em
and especially, ... yours and mine

[Verse]
Em               D       
And it came to pass on that 
       C        G/B
Christmas evening
Am7             G           A   
While all the doors were 
       B
shuttered tight
Em             D         C      
That in that town, the happiest 
      G/B
