The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) by Justin Bieber feat. Usher

 The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)



Capo:no capo

G         Em                  Bm7  C  D  C  G
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
           Em              C    C  Bm7  C  G
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
         Bm7          Em        D
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
    Bm7           C       D
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
 
 
          G       Em              Bm7       C  D  C  G
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
        Em              C      C  Bm7  C  G
Help to make the season bright.
     Bm7             Em       D
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
     C               Bm7   G
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
 
 
               F              G
They know that Santa's on his way;
             F                     F              G
He's loading lots of toys and many goodies on his sleigh.
          Bm7      C                 G
And every mother's child is gunna to spy,
          A                           D
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
 
 
    G      Em            Bm7          C  D  C  G
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
             Em            C  C  Bm7  C  G
To kids from one to ninety-two,
                  Bm7       Em          D
Although its been said many times, many ways,
      C            D  G
Merry Christmas to you

Capo:no capo

*The chords:
There are two guitars, a piano and tons of keyboards making up these chords.
I attempt to make up an arrangement suitable for one guitar alone, instead of
just transcribing one of the guitars. 
 
*The picking pattern:
There is no general picking pattern on the recording. So unless I notated a
particular fill, just fill in - if you can make it :P
 
  ø = m7(b5)
 (2)(4) = (add2)(add4)
  T = use your thumb for these bass-string notes

 LYRICS
**********
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nippin' at your nose, yeah
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
 
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright, yeah
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
 
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loading lots of toys and many goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if a reindeer really know how to fly
 
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
 
Yeah, and so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two, yeah
Although it's been said, many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, yeah
Merry Christmas from us
Merry Christmas to you
