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