G
I was walking home on Christmas eve
Em
The whole neighborhood was fast asleep
C
The snow was falling, coming down hard
D
The place looked like a picture post card.
G
And when my house came into view
Em
I noticed something up on the roof
C
You can't imagine my surprise
D
When I looked up and realized.
---
G
It was Santa on the rooftop
Em
And our house was Santa's first roof stop
C
The reindeer were quiet as a mouse
Didn't make a sound
D
Santa got ready to make his way down
G
He had one foot in the chimney
Em
Destination our brand new Christmas tree
C
I knew everyone was gonna be shocked
D
When I told them I saw Santa on the rooftop.
---
G
I tried to get home right away
Em
But I was just a little too late
C
The gifts were laid out under the tree
D
But no sign of Mister SC.
G
I ran over to the fireplace
Em
But there was nothing but an empty space
C
Got everybody up out of bed
D
Their eyes opened wide when I said.

G
Some people think the man's a myth
Em
I had my doubts, I admit
C
They'll laugh and criticize
D
When somebody says with that look in their eyes.
