Intro: G, G/F#, Em, Em7, C, D

G             G/F#
It was almost Christmas time, 
Em                G/D
There I stood in another line,
C                  D
Trying to buy that last Gift or two, 
Am7               Dsus      D
Not really in the Christmas mood.

G                 G/F#
Standing right in front of me, 
      Em                 G/D
Was a little boy waiting anxiously, 
C                 D 
Pacing round Like little boys do,  
Am7                 Dsus  D        G
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes.

        Em                    D
And his clothes were worn and old,
       Em                 D
He was dirty from head to toe
Am7                  G/B 
And when it came his time to pay, 
  G/C                     Dsus      D   
I couldn’t believe what I heard him say.


               A         E
Sir, I want to buy these shoes,
       F#m   F#/E  
For my momma please,
     D                       E                  A2    (F#m  E)
It's Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size.
           A     E
Could your hurry Sir,
                  F#m      F#m/E
Daddy says theres not much time,
        D                   E
You see she's been sick for quite awhile
      D                     E 
And I know these shoes will make her smile 
      D                Esus  E
And I want her to look beautiful
   Bm7 A/C#   D  Esus  A      (E/G#  F#m  D2)
If momma meets Jesus tonight 

             A                A/G#
They counted pennies for what seemed like years,
         F#m                      F#m/E
Then the cashier said son there's not enough here,
D                       E
He searched his pockets frantically, 
Bm7                Esus      E    
Then he turned and looked at me.

         A                    A/G#
He said, Momma made Christmas good at our house,
       F#m                 F#m/E
Though most years she just did without,
        D             E 
Tell me Sir what am I gonna do
     Bm7             Esus E                  A
Some how I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes.

     F#m            E   
So I laid the money down,
       F#m             E
I just had to help him out,
         D                E
And I’ll never forget the look on his face
             D
When he said mommas gonna look so great.

               B         F#
Sir, I want to buy these shoes,
       G#m   G#/F#  
For my momma please,
     E                       F#                 B2    (G#m  F#)
It's Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size.
           B     F#
Could your hurry Sir,
                  G#m      G#m/F#
Daddy says theres not much time,
        E                   F#
You see she's been sick for quite awhile
      E                     F# 
And I know these shoes will make her smile 
      E                F#sus  F
And I want her to look beautiful
   C#m7 B/D#   E  F#sus  B
If momma meets Jesus tonight 

  C#m7                         B/D#      
I knew I’d caught a glimpse of heaven’s love 
   F#                 G#m
As thanked me and ran out
            A                 E/G#            F#sus  F#
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
     C#m9             F#sus
What Christmas is all about.

(Repeat Chorus In B)
