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