Verse
A E
It was almost Christmas time,
A D
There I stood in another line
A B
Trying to buy the last gift or two,
A E
Not really in the Christmas mood.
A D
Standing right in front of me
A B
Was a little boy waiting anxiously,
A D
Pacing round like little boys do,
A Bm
And in his hands, were a pair of shoes.
A E
And his clothes were worn and old.
A D
He was dirty from head to toe,
A B
And when it came his time to pay,
D E
I couldn't believe what I heard him say.
CHORUS
Gm
Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please.
F#m
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.
E
Could you hurry, Sir?
F#m
Daddy says there's not much time.
Gm
You see she's been sick for quite a while;
E
And I, know these shoes will make her smile.
F#m
And I, want her look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus tonight.
Verse Two
A E
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
A D
Then the cashier said Son there's not enough here.
A B
He searched his pockets so frantically
A E
Then he turned and he looked at me.
A D Gm
He said Momma made Christmas good... At our house
A B
Though most years she just did without.
A D
Tell me, Sir, what am I gonna do?
A Bm
Somehow I've got to buy these Christmas shoes!
A E
So I laid the money down;
A D
I just had to help him out.
A B
I'll never forget the look on his face
D E
When he said Mommas gonna look so great!
Repeat Chorus
Verse Three
A E
I knew that I got a glimpse of heavens love
A D
As he thanked me and ran out.
A B
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
A E
Just what Christmas is all about.
A D
I got a glimpse of heavens love
A B
As he thanked me and ran out.
A Bm
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
D E
Just what Christmas is all about.
Repeat Chorus two times
There it is. Pretty simple song but it is fun to rock out to in December!
