Christmas Hooley Chords by Declan Nerney

[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] I'm sure Christmas time is not the same, some [F#m] people [A] do believe
[D] But a strange thing happened in our house last year on [A] Christmas Eve
[D] In the middle of our party, a loud knock came [F#] to the [Bm] door
[G] Come on [D] ahead, should we all set, there's [A] room for [D] plenty more
[Bm] The latching lifted gently, [F#m] we stood there [A] amazed because
[D] Before our eyes, to our surprise, stood the mighty Santa [A] Claus
[D] Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, is [F#] what he [Bm] heard him say
[G] And peace to [D] every Irish home, it's my [A] wish for [D] Christmas Day
[Bm] For on this night, all around the [F#m] world, as I journey [A] through the snow
[D] Bringing joy and gifts to the little folk, that which I'll never [A] know
[D] Beyond the candle in your window, came the [F#] caley [Bm] and the song
[G] So I'll stay a [D] while in the Emerald [A] Island, then I'll [D] journey on
Pushed back the kitchen table, put the chairs [G] against the wall
Sure the hour has [D] now struck midnight, and Santa's [A] sure to call
[D] Sure he had a drop of pushy, and he'd ho-ho [G]-ho it be
And he'd dance a [D] stack of barley, [A] all around the [D] Christmas tree
Santa _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _

_ _ _ [Bm] sure enjoyed [F#m] himself in our [A] house that night
[D] To watch him waltz with Grandma, sure it was our [A] heart's delight
[D] It's great to see such merriment, among [F#] ye [Bm] one and all
[G] And maybe this [D] time next year I [A] will make another [Bm] call
There was tapping at the window, [F#m] as he ho-ho [A]-hoed again
[D] Sure it was little Rudolph's red nose, spread against the [A] windowpane
[D] With his eyes he seemed to tell us, it was time for [Bm] them to go
[G] Soon Santa and [D] his reindeers, they [A] went dashing through [D] the snow
_ Pushed back the kitchen table, put the chairs against [G] the wall
Sure the hour has now [D] struck midnight, and Santa's sure [A] to call
[D] Sure he had a drop of pushy, and he'd ho-ho-ho [G] it be
And he'd dance a stack [D] of barley, all [A] around the [D] Christmas tree
Pushed back the kitchen table, put the chairs against [G] the wall
Sure the hour has now [D] struck midnight, and Santa's sure [A] to call
[D] Sure he had a drop of pushy, and he'd ho-ho-ho [G] it be
And he'd dance a stack [D] of barley, all [F#m] around the Christmas [D] tree _ _
