D7M    D6        Dm7+    Dm6 
Little girls and little boys 
A9    A    F#m  Cdim    B7 
Dream of worlds full of toys 
D9      Bm5-/7     E7       Cdim      E7  A 
This time of the year when Christmas is near

Evergreens are snowy white 
A9    A    F#m  Cdim    B7 
Sleigh bells ring through the night

Bridge 
     Em7              A7 
And somewhere near a steeple 
D      D7M        D6 
People kneel and pray 
    B7          Bm5-/7     Cdim      E7 
And choirs sing carols of Christmas day 
D7M    D6      Dm7+   Dm6 
Santa Claus is on his way 
A9    A    F#m  Cdim    B7 
Loads of joy, on his sleigh 
D9      Bm5-/7     E7              E4/7  E7  F#7 
This time of the year when Christmas  is near
