Artist: Eddy Arnold - C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a
Capo 5th Fret
[G]
When I was but a youngster [C]Christmas meant one [G]thing
That [D7]I'd be getting lots of toys that [G]day
I [D7]learned a whole lot different when [G]mother set me down
And [A7]taught me to spell Christmas this [D7]way
[G]C is for the Christ Child [C]born upon this day
[G]H for Herald Angels in the n[D7]ight
[G]R means our redeemer [C]I means Israel
[D7]S is for the star that shone so [G]bright
[D7]T is for three wise men [G]they who traveled far
[A7]M's for the manger where He [D7]lay
[G]A's for all He stands for [C]S means shepherds came
And [D7]that's why there's a Christmas [G]Day
[D7] [G]
And [D7]that's why there's a Christmas [G]Day
