FM Static – Christmas Shoes (Guitar)

G
It was almost Christmas time,

D
There I stood in another line

C
Trying to buy the last gift or two,

D
Not really in the Christmas mood.

G
Standing right in front of me

D
Was a little boy waiting anxiously,

C
Pacing round like little boys do,

D
And in his hands, were a pair of shoes.

G                          G/F#
And his clothes were worn and old.

Em                        D
He was dirty from head to toe,

C                            D
And when it came his time to pay,

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

A                       E            F#m    E
Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please.

D                             E                  A
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.

A                 E
Could you hurry, Sir?

F#m                          E
Daddy says there's not much time.

D                             E
You see she's been sick for quite a while;

D                             E
And I, know these shoes will make her smile.

D                                  E
And I, want her look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus tonight.

G
He counted pennies for what seemed like years

D
Then the cashier said Son there's not enough here.

C
He searched his pockets so frantically

D
Then he turned and he looked at me.

G
He said Momma made Christmas good... At our house

D
Though most years she just did without.

C
Tell me, Sir, what am I gonna do?

D
Somehow I've got to buy these Christmas shoes!

G                    G/F#
So I laid the money down;

Em                      D
I just had to help him out.

C                                  D
I'll never forget the look on his face

C                                  D
When he said Mommas gonna look so great!

A                       E            F#m    E
Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please.

D                             E                  A

E                               B
I knew that I got a glimpse of heavens love

        C#m                E
As he thanked me and ran out.

E                                 B
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me

             C#m               E
Just what Christmas is all about.

E                      B
