i noticed there were only tabs for this song so i put it into chords to make it
easier to play ( well , sorrta )
verse one
G D
it was almost christmas time ,
G C
there i stood in another line
G A
trying to buy the last gift or two ,
G D
not really in the christmas mood .
G C
standing right in front of me
G A
was a little boy waiting anxiously ,
G C
pacing round like little boys do ,
G Am
and in his hands , were a pair of shoes .
G D
and his clothes were worn and old .
G C
he was dirty from head to toe ,
G A
and when it came his time to pay ,
C D
i couldn’t believe what i heard him say .
chorus
Fm
sir , i wanna buy these shoes for my momma please .
Em
it’s christmas eve and these shoes are just her size .
D
could you hurry , sir?
Em
Daddy says there’s not much time .
Fm
you see she’s been sick for quite a while;
D
and i , know these shoes will make her smile .
Em
and i , want her look beautiful if momma meets jesus tonight .
verse two
G D
he counted pennies for what seemed like years
G C
then the cashier said son there’s not enough here .
G A
he searched his pockets so frantically
G D
then he turned and he looked at me .
G C Fm
he said momma made christmas good . . . at our house
G A
though most years she just did without .
G C
tell me , sir , what Am i gonna do?
G Am
somehow i’ve got to buy these christmas shoes!
G D
so i laid the money down;
G C
i just had to help him out .
G A
i’ll never forget the look on his face
C D
when he said mommas gonna look so great!
repeat chorus
verse three
G D
i knew that i got a glimpse of heavens love
G C
as he thanked me and ran out .
G A
i knew that god had sent that little boy to remind me
G D
just what christmas is all about .
G C
i got a glimpse of heavens love
G A
as he thanked me and ran out .
G Am
i knew that god had sent that little boy to remind me
C D
just what christmas is all about .
repeat chorus two times
there it is . pretty simple song but it is fun to rock out to in december!
