Key E  no capo
 
[Intro]
A    A
 
[Verse 1]
A                   E      A           A7
There's a Christmas memory I recall so well
D                E            A
Takes me back to when I was a child
             E          A             A7
Just her and me by the lights of the tree
     D                 E            A
We'd sit and she would softly sing awhile
 
[Chorus 1]
                     D
0 Little Town of Bethlehem
    A        E        A
How still we see thee lie
          F#7      Bm
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
    A      E        A
The silent stars go by
 
[Verse 2]
               E
I was always a shepherd
       A                A7
In the church Christmas play
        D         E           A
And she helped me memorize my part
                      E
We would decorate the mantlepiece
    A                   A7
And count the Christmas cards
      D                 E           A
And I learned all those memories by heart
 
[Chorus 2]
A
Silent Night Holy Night
E        E7       A    A7
Sleep in heavenly peace
A        E7       A     G
Sleep in heavenly peace
 
[Verse 3]
C                G        C
Hiding Christmas presents wrapped in pretty bows
     F                   G                C
Each year they'd be some place I couldn't find
                           G
And while helping her bake cookies
C                     C7
Shaped like Christmas trees
           F              G              C
She'd tell me the old old story one more time
 
[Chorus 3]
C                   F          C
Away In A Manger no crib for a bed
           G    C     F   C        G     C    C G Am G
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
 
[Outro]
C       G         Am     G     C              C7
Keeping Christmas secrets  was always lots of fun
G             F           G                  C  G Am
  But there's one I never tried to keep from you
G      C                 G               C          C7
So for everything you've done for me and still do today
F               G7                 C
Merry Christmas Momma   I love-ove you
