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