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 )
