intro:
F#..G#m
....Oooooooo
C#
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
F#
Christmas comes this time each year
G#m......C#
Oooooooo oooooooo

......G#m....C#..............G#m......C#
Well, way up north where the air gets cold
..........F#.........F#maj7................F#7......D#7
There's a tale about Christmas that you've all been told
......G#m.........C#......G#m...........C#
And a real famous cat all dressed up in red
.......F#...............F#maj7.......F#6........F#7
And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled

chorus:
.........B
It's the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
.........G#m
It's the little Saint Nick
..............C#
Ooooo, little Saint Nick

Just a little bobsled we call it old Saint Nick
But she'll walk a toboggan with a four speed stick
She's candy-apple red with a ski for a wheel
And when Santa hits the gas, man, just watch her peel

(repeat chorus)

B.................E
Run run reindeer, Run run reindeer, Whoaa
B.................G#
Run run reindeer, Run run reindeer, He don't miss no one

And haulin' through the snow at a frightenin' speed
With a half a dozen deer with Rudy to lead
He's gotta wear his goggles 'cause the snow really flies
And he's cruisin' every pad with a little surprise

.........B
It's the little Saint Nick. Ooooo, little Saint Nick
.........F#...............................D#7
It's the little Saint Nick. Ooooo, little Saint Nick


..G#m..C#
Ahhhhhh
G#m...C#
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
F#...................D#7
Christmas comes this time each year



2. "The Man With All The Toys"
Brian Wilson/Mike Love


.........C#.......E...F#7.B
He's the man with all the toys

........C#..............F#.............B.....G#
Someone found a lighted house late one night
.......C#..............F#.......B.....G#
And he saw through the window a sight
..E............Em
A big man in a chair
....D#m..................G#m
And little tiny men everywhere
.........C#...............C#m....F#
He's the man with all the toys

Well how thrilled that someone must have been
And he must have been tempted to go in
He stayed out in the cold
And when he left them he told
..........C#.......C#m..F#....B....G#
About the man with all    the toys

.........C#.......E...F#7.B
He's the man with all the toys

....C#.......F#......B....G#
The man with all the toys
.........C#.......F#......B....G#
He's the man with all the toys


3. "Santa's Beard"
Brian Wilson/Mike Love


..G#
I wanna meet Santa Claus, the real real Santa
..G#aug
I wanna meet Santa Claus, the real real Santa
..C#
I wanna see Santa Claus, the real real Santa
...A#m...............D#
He wants to meet ol' Santa Claus

G#
I took my brother to the department store
.............A#m......................F#
He wanted to show Santa his Christmas list
G#
He stood in line and he shook like a leaf
..........A#m......................D#
He's only five and a half goin' on six


He said, "Is that (that Santa) really Santa Claus, really really (the real Santa) Santa Claus?
Is that (that Santa) really Santa Claus, really really Santa? (I hope he doesn't pull Santa's beard)
Is that (that Santa) really Santa Claus, really really (the real Santa) Santa?"
Hope he thinks that's Santa Claus

I picked him up and put him on Santa's lap 
And then he pulled the pillow out of his shirt
He yanked the beard right on off of his chin
And in his eyes I could see he was hurt

He said, "You're not (not Santa) really Santa Claus, you're really not (the real Santa) Santa Claus
You're not (not Santa) really Santa Claus, you're really not Santa (he shouldn'ta pulled Santa's beard)
You're not (not Santa) Santa Claus, you're really not (the real Santa) Santa"
He's just helpin' Santa Claus

He's just helpin' (helpin' Santa) Santa Claus, the real (the real Santa) real Santa
He's helpin' (helpin' Santa) Santa Claus, the real (the real Santa) real Santa
He's just helpin' (helpin' Santa) Santa Claus, the real (the real Santa) real Santa
He's just helpin' Santa Claus

He's just helpin' (helpin' Santa) Santa Claus, the real (the real Santa) real Santa
He's just helpin' (helpin' Santa) Santa Claus, the real (he shouldn'ta pulled Santa's beard) real Santa 
He's just helpin' (helpin' Santa) Santa Claus, the real (the real Santa) real Santa
He's just helpin' Santa Claus


4. "Merry Christmas, Baby"
(Brian Wilson)

...E
My baby she told me
She don't want to hold me (oh, no!)
....A
And kiss my lips anymore (unh-unh!)
......E
She's gonna leave me
And she don't believe me
.....F#m..G#m.A....B
That I'll be  true now

E
Well maybe she don't love me
And is not thinkin' of me
....A
But why'd she do it this time of year?
....E
She knows that I'll miss her
And I'll want to kiss her
...F#m..G#m.A.....B
If just for Christmas

chorus:
A
Merry Christmas, baby
F#
Merry Christmas, baby
A......................B
Merry Christmas, baby

Tell me, what did I do
To really convince you
That I'm not the guy anymore?
Take back my ring now
I'll do anything now
But please forgive me

I made my mistake but
I'm willing to wake up
And never mess around anymore
Oh why did we break up?
There's still time to make up
If just for Christmas

(repeat chorus)

I made my mistake but
I'm willing to wake up
And never mess around anymore
Oh why did we break up?
There's still time to make up
If just for Christmas

(repeat chorus)

Just to make happy someone like you
