3  3   3  3 -2  2
Ka-ty got a dol-ly
 3    -4   -4   -4    -3   3
That cries and blinks its eyes
-4  -4 -4  -3 -3 3   3  -2   2
Jim-my got an au-to-mat-ic plane
 2    2   -2   3
That real-ly flies
 2  3   3    3    -2    -2    2
But we were poor that Christ-mas
1   4  4    4    4   4   -4    -3
So mom-ma stayed up all night long
 3   3   3   3    4   3
Sit-ting in the kitch-en
 3   3  3  3  -5   3   -5  4   -4   4
Mak-ing us a pres-ent, it was this song

  3      4    -3  3  -3
Church bells ring-a-ling
3   4    -3  3  -3
An-gels sing-a-ling
 3  3   -3   -4  -3  3
Hap-py birth-day Je-sus
 3     -4    -3  3  -3
Snow flakes ting-a-ling
  3     -4    -3  3  -3
Sleigh bells jing-a-ling
 3  3    3   -2  -2  2
Hap-py birth-day Je-sus

All year long we wait

just to cel-e-brate this Christ-mas morn
   3*  3   4   -3  3   -3
‘Cause we want You to know
  3   -5  -3   3   -3   4
We’re so glad You were born

Oh, have a mer-ry, ver-y

Hap-py birth-day Je-sus
