Misc Christmas – Happy Birthday Jesus (Guitar)

C                       G7
Katy got a dolly that cries and blinks its eyes;

                         C
Jimmy got an automatic plane that really flies.

                                                               F
But we were poor that Christmas, so Momma stayed up all night long,

C/G                     G                                C
Sitting in the kitchen making us a present; it was this song:

 C                                            G7
Church bells ring-a-ling, angels sing-a-ling; "Happy Birthday, Jesus."

                                                    C
Snowflakes ting-a-ling, sleigh bells jing-a-ling; "Happy Birthday, Jesus."

 C7                                      F              Ab
All year long we wait just to celebrate this Christmas morn,

  C                         G7                     Am    Ab
'Cause we want You to know we're so glad You were born.

     C/G           G7                   G7  C
Oh, have a merry, very Happy Birthday, Jesus!

C                            G7
Teddy bears get broken, and trains will rust away;

                                  C
All the fancy playthings seem to fall apart one day.

                                                 F
But I was very lucky, when everybody's gift was gone;

C/G                      G7                                    C
I still had my present; Momma's song of Christmas lived on and on:

 C                                            G7
Church bells ring-a-ling, angels sing-a-ling; "Happy Birthday, Jesus."

                                                    C
Snowflakes ting-a-ling, sleigh bells jing-a-ling; "Happy Birthday, Jesus."

 C7                                      F              Ab
All year long we wait just to celebrate this Christmas morn,

  C                         G7                     Am    Ab
'Cause we want You to know we're so glad You were born.

     C/G           G7                   G7  C
Oh, have a merry, very Happy Birthday, Jesus!

C                              G7
Christmas is for children, and now I have my own;

                                   C
Their eyes are full of wonder when all the toys are shown.

                                                             F
But I'll give then something better than anything that's on TV.

C/G                      G7                              C
Something very special, something made forever, this melody:

 C                                            G7
Church bells ring-a-ling, angels sing-a-ling; "Happy Birthday, Jesus."

                                                    C
Snowflakes ting-a-ling, sleigh bells jing-a-ling; "Happy Birthday, Jesus."

 C7                                      F              Ab
