Intro

G G/F Em Em7 C D

  G It was almost G/F Christmas time,

  Em There I stood in Em7 another line,

  C Trying to buy that last D Gift or two,

  Am7 Not really in the D Christmas mood.

  G Standing right G/F in front of me,

  Em a little boy waiting Em7 anxiously,

  C pacing round Like D little boys do,

  Am7 and in his hands he D held a pair of C shoes.

And his Em clothes were old and D worn,

He was Em dirty from head to D toe

C and when it came his D time to pay,

Am7 I couldn't believe what I D heard him say.

Chorus

 Sir, I want to A buy these E shoes,

 for my F♯m momma (F♯m/E) please,

it's D Christmas eve and these E shoes are just her A size.

Could your hurry E please,

 Daddy says theres F♯m not much F#m/E time,

you see D shes been sick for E quite awhile

and I D know these shoes will E make her smile

and I D want her to look E beautiful

 if Bm7 momma meets E7 Jesus A tonight (Bm7-E7)

A They counted pennies for what A/G seemed like years,

F#M the cashier said son theres F#m/E not enough here,

D he searched his pockets E frantically,

D then he turned and E looked at me.

He said, A Momma made Christmas A/G good at our house,

F#m most years she just F#m/E did without,

D tell me Sir what am I E gonna do

some D how I've got to E buy her these Christmas A shoes.

F#m So I laid the money E down,

I just F#m had to help him E out,

and I'll D never forget the E look on his face

when he said D mommas gonna look so great.

(Chorus)

I Bm7 knew I'd caught a glimpse of A heaven's love

as Bm7 thanked me E and ran A out

I knew that G God had sent that D little boy to E remind me,

What Bm7 Christmas is all E7 about.

(Chorus)
