[E] [A] [B] Oh, [E] oh, oh, oh, [A] [B] [E]
[B] oh.
Mama used to send us [A] early to bed on [E] Christmas Eve.
[B] She became Santa's [A] helper, and they took [E] care of me.
[B] We would wake up early [A] from our beds [E] only to see
[F#m] the love she [B] had for [E] all of [A] us was left [B] beneath the tree.
[E] [A] One day I know we'll [B] be together [E] when the Lord brings me to you.
[A] Then I know I will [B] be in heaven [E] when my eyes can rest on you.
[A] But until then I [B] will remember [C#m] all the [B] good times [A] that we've shared.
[F#m] I'll hang a star upon this [B] tree for you.
[A] On Christmas [B] Day I know you'll [E] be there too.
[A] [E]
[A] [B] [E]
[B] Now that I'm [A] up with children [E] of my own,
[B] I see the happiness in their [A] eyes somehow I [E] wish I'd known.
[B] But not a Christmas Day goes [A] by that I [E] will not see.
[F#m] The gift you gave to all of [A] us was the love you [B] gave to me.
[E] [A] One day I know we'll [B] be together [E] when the Lord brings me to you.
[A] Then I know I will [B] be in heaven [E] when my eyes can rest on you.
[A] But until then I [B] will remember [C#m] all the [B] good times [A] that we've shared.
[F#m] I'll hang a star upon this [B] tree for you.
[A] Mama, on Christmas [B] Day I know you'll be [E] there too.
[A] One day I know we'll [B] be together.
[E] [A] Then I know I will [B] be in heaven.
[E] [A] I won't have [B] to remember,
[C#m] cause I'm [B] standing [A] there with you,
[F#m] of a time that you and I [B] always do.
[A] Mama, on Christmas [B] Day I'll finally be [E] with you.
Joy to the world!
