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