Intro: EmA7Em
I was downtown Christmas shopping
A7
Such a busy city street
CDEm
I don't know how I noticed the piece of paper at my feet
EmA7
But somethin' made me pick it up, instead of goin' on my way
C
I stopped and froze right in my tracks
BEm
As I read what it had to say
Chorus:
G
Oh Santa, if you can't find me
C
We're livin' out here on the street
EmC
But I'll be watchin' for you
EmC
You're not gonna forget me, are you
G
Daddy says he knows you'll try
CD
But we might be too hard to find this year
Em
Oh Santa, I'm right here
EmA7 (x2)
Em
It said, we don't have our house no more
A7
I wish we could go home
CDEm
Mama says we will some day and she prays it won't be long
EmA7
But they closed daddy's factory and took most of our things
C
Now Santa, I don't need too much
BEm
So this year could you bring
C
Bring my mom a coat that's warm
G
Cause the one she's got is awful torn
C
Maybe dad could help you work
AmCGC
Makin' toys for boys and girls
