[Gm] _ It was almost [G] Christmas time, [D] and there I stood in another land, [G] _ trying to buy [D] that
last gift or two.
Not really in the Christmas _ [G] mood, standing right in front of me [D] was a little boy waiting
[G] anxiously, _
[C] _ pacing [Am] round like [D] little boys do. _
[A] And in his hands he held [D] a [G] pair of shoes. _ _ _ _
And his clothes were worn and old, _ he [E] was dirty from head [G] to toe.
[D] _ _
[C] And when it came [G] it's time to pay, I couldn't believe what I heard him [D] say.
_ Sir, [A] I want to buy _ these [E] shoes _ for [F#m] my mama, _ _ please.
_ [D] It's Christmas Eve and [E] these shoes are just [A] her size.
_ [F#m] _ _ [E] Could [A] you hurry, _ [E] sir?
_ Daddy says [F#m] there's not much time.
[A] You [D] see, she's been sick for [E] quite a while, [D] and I know these shoes [E] will make her smile.
[A] And I want her to [E] look beautiful, [Bm] if [C#m] mama [A] meets Jesus _ tonight. _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ They counted pennies for what seemed [E] like years, [F#m] and the cashier said, [A] son, there's
not enough here.
[D] He searched his [E] pockets frantically, _ [Bm] _ then he turned [E] and he looked at me.
He [A] said, mama meant [E] Christmas good at our house, [F#m] though most years she [A] just did without.
Tell me, sir, what am I [E] gonna do?
_ [Bm] Somehow I've [E] gotta buy her these [A] Christmas _ shoes.
_ _ _ [F#m] So I laid the money [A] down, _ [F#m] I just had to help [A] him out.
[B] And I'll never forget the [A] look on his face when he said, mama's gonna [E] look so _ _ great.
_ _ Sir, I [B] want to buy these [F#] shoes for [G#m] my mama, please.
_ [F#] _ [E] It's Christmas Eve and [F#] these shoes are just [B] her size. _
[G#m] _ _ [F#] _ [B] Could you hurry, [F#] sir?
_ Daddy [G#m] says there's not much time.
_ [F#] You [E] see, she's been sick [F#] for quite a while, [E] and I know these shoes [F#] will make her smile.
I [E] _ want her to [F#] look _ beautiful, [C#] if mama meets _ Jesus [B] _ tonight. _
_ _ And I [C#m] knew that God [B] had some heaven's love [F#] as he thanked me and [G#] ran out _ _ [A] _ and sent [E] that
little boy [F#] to remind _ me _ _ [C#m] what Christmas is [F#] all about. _ _ _ _
[B] Sir, I want to buy these shoes [F#] _
[G#m] for my mama, _ _ please.
[E] It's Christmas Eve and [F#] these shoes are just [B] her size.
_ _ [G#] _ _
[B] Could you hurry, [F#] sir? _
Daddy [G#m] says there's not much _ [G#] time.
You [E] see, she's been sick [F#] for quite a while, [E] and I know these shoes [F#] will make her smile.
[E] I want her to [F#] look beautiful, [C#] if mama _ [E] meets [F#]
Jesus [B] tonight. _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] I want her to [B] look [F#]
beautiful, _ _ [C#m] if [B] mama meets _ _ Jesus [F#] _ _ _
tonight.
