When I was but a youngster Christmas meant one thing
     D7                               G
That I'd be getting lots of toys that day
  D7                                 G
I learned a whole lot different when mother set me down
    A7                                D7
And taught me to spell Christmas this way

G                         C
C is for the Christ Child born upon this day
G                            D7
H  for Herald Angels in the night
G                    C
R means our redeemer I means Israel
D7                              G
S is for the star that shone so bright

D7                      G
T is for three wise men they who traveled far
A7                          D7
M's for the manger where He lay
G                         C
A's for all He stands for S means shepherds came
    D7                             G
And that's why there's a Christmas Day

    D7                             G

    D7                             G
And that's why there's a Christmas Day
