[Ab] It was [D] almost Christmas [Eb] time, there I stood in another line, trying to buy that last gift or two.
[Bbm] Not really [Bb] in the Christmas [Eb] mood, [Ab] standing [Eb] right in front of me was a little boy waiting
anxiously, [Db] pacing around like little boys do, [Bbm] and in his [Bb] hands he [Eb] held a pair of shoes.
[Ab] [Eb] [F] And his clothes were [Cm] worn and old, [Fm] he was dirty from [Eb] head to toe.
[Bbm] And when it [Ab] came his time to pay, I couldn't believe what I heard him [Eb] say, Sir [Bb] I want to
buy these [F] shoes [Gm] for my mama [Dm] please, [Eb] it's Christmas Eve and [F] these shoes are just [Bb] her size.

[F] Christmas good at our house, [Gm] most years [F] she just did without.
[Eb] Tell me sir, what [F] am I gonna do, [Cm] somehow I've gotta [F] buy her these [Bb] Christmas shoes.
[Gm] So I laid the money [F] down, [Gm] I just had to help [F] him out, [Cm] and I'll never forget the [Bb] look on
his face when [Eb] he said mama's [Bb] gonna look so
[F] [Dm] great.
