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