Verse
F C
It was almost Christmas time,
F A#
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 A#
Standing right in front of me
F G
Was a little boy waiting anxiously,
F A#
Pacing round like little boys do,
F Gm
And in his hands, were a pair of shoes.
F C
And his clothes were worn and old.
F A#
He was dirty from head to toe,
F G
And when it came his time to pay,
A# C
I couldn't believe what I heard him say.
CHORUS
D#m
Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please.
Dm
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.
C
Could you hurry, Sir?
Dm
Daddy says there's not much time.
D#m
You see she's been sick for quite a while;
C
And I, know these shoes will make her smile.
Dm
And I, want her look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus tonight.
Verse Two
F C
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
F A#
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 A# D#m
He said Momma made Christmas good... At our house
F G
Though most years she just did without.
F A#
Tell me, Sir, what am I gonna do?
F Gm
Somehow I've got to buy these Christmas shoes!
F C
So I laid the money down;
F A#
I just had to help him out.
F G
I'll never forget the look on his face
A# 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 A#
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 A#
I got a glimpse of heavens love
F G
As he thanked me and ran out.
F Gm
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
A# 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!
