It was the first snow of the year and all that you could hear
F A# D# A#
were your own foot steps in the wet and heavy snow.
A# D#
It’s been almost 40 years John Roberts rangered around here.
F A# D# A#
He was the sort of man that everybody knows.
Gm Dm
Heading home on Friday night, in the fading winter light,
D# F F
With the weekend and Christmas on his mind.
A# D#
When in the freshly fallen snow, there were the footprints of old Joe,
F A# D# A#
and a spruce stump, fresh cut and left behind.

A# D# F
Joe Carson never had much luck. Some might say he had it rough; seven children
A# D# A#
he never had a steady job.
A# D#
But as John stood there at his door, he clenched his teeth and then he swore,
F A# D# A#
“Not even this man should stand above the law.”
Gm Dm
So in a steamy room inside, where puppies ran and babies cried.
D# F
He hit Carson with a stiff ten dollar fine.
A# D#
And Carson said, “that cleans me out.” And Johnny had his doubts
F A# D# A#
of Christmas morning and what Joe’s kids might find.
Gm Dm
As he headed for the door, he spied a pup there on the floor.
D# F F
He picked it up and turned to Carson once again.
A# D#
He said, “my nephew wants a pup. And it looks like he’s in luck.
F A# D# A#
I’ll take this one.” And he handed Joe a ten.

Later on, on Sunday night on a corner ‘neath a street light,
F A# D# A#
doesn’t John run into Joe on his way home.
A# D#
He said, “since the other night when you came by, it’s been a sight!
F A# D# A#
I’ve sold eight pups now, what’s that go to show?”
Gm Dm
“News travels fast here in the woods, Joe, I hope your Christmas is good.”
D# F F
And for a moment, they just stood there in the snow.
A# D#
And then Joe stuck out his hand. He said, I hope your day is grand.
F
Merry Christmas to you, Johnny.”
(no chord) A# F A#
“Merry Christmas to you, Joe.”
not sure about the ending. This looks correct in the edit function, however, the preview
function seems to have errors. I can't be certain it will post correctly until it's
