[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [C]
The winter's flaking [F] snow is brushing [G] through the wiry [C] trees
I [F] stuff my hands down [C] deep inside [G] my coat _ _ _ _ _ I [F] think of years [G] ago and half [C]
remembered Christmas
[F] trees _ [C] and faces that still [F] warm me with their [G]
glow
_ _ _ _ _ [A] [C] The cold and empty [F] evening hangs [G] around me like a [C] ghost
_ _ [F] I listen to my [C] footsteps in the [G] snow _ The _ _ _ _ [F]
sound of one man [G] walking through the [C] snow
can break your [F] heart _ [C] And stopping doesn't [F] help, so on I'll [G] go
_ _ _ _ _ And [F] a Christmas Eve can [E] kill you when [D] you're trying to hitch a [G] ride to _ [C] anywhere
_ _ _ _ _ _ The icy air I'm [F] _ breathing's all that [G] keeps me on my [C] feet
_ [F] I feel like I've been [C] walking all [G] my life _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] A car goes [G] running by, the man [C] don't even
turn his [F] head _ Guess he's busy [F] being Santa Claus [G] tonight _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] The saddest part [F] of all is knowing [G] if I switch with [C] him
_ [F] I'd leave him stumbling [C] right here by [G] the road
_ _ _ _ _ [F] I'd ride that highway [G] to the arms of [C] my sweet _ [F] family
_ And [C] forget about the [F] stranger in the [G] cold _ _ _ _ _ [F] And a Christmas Eve can [Em] kill you when [D] you're
trying to hitch a [G] ride to [C] anywhere _
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ And as I walk I'm [F] singing to myself, [G] _
oh [C] silent night
_ [F] Hoping I can [C] save those other _ [G]
souls _ _ _ _ Oh [F] God forgive the [G] man that drives right [C] by
The other [F] man, take [C]
pity on [F] the stranger in [G] the cold
_ _ _ _ [E] [F] Cause Christmas Eve [Em] can kill you when you're [Dm] trying to hitch a [G] ride to [C] anywhere
