Verse
G# D#
It was almost Christmas time,
G# C#
There I stood in another line
G# A#
Trying to buy the last gift or two,
G# D#
Not really in the Christmas mood.
G# C#
Standing right in front of me
G# A#
Was a little boy waiting anxiously,
G# C#
Pacing round like little boys do,
G# A#m
And in his hands, were a pair of shoes.
G# D#
And his clothes were worn and old.
G# C#
He was dirty from head to toe,
G# A#
And when it came his time to pay,
C# D#
I couldn't believe what I heard him say.
CHORUS
F#m
Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please.
Fm
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.
D#
Could you hurry, Sir?
Fm
Daddy says there's not much time.
F#m
You see she's been sick for quite a while;
D#
And I, know these shoes will make her smile.
Fm
And I, want her look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus tonight.
Verse Two
G# D#
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
G# C#
Then the cashier said Son there's not enough here.
G# A#
He searched his pockets so frantically
G# D#
Then he turned and he looked at me.
G# C# F#m
He said Momma made Christmas good... At our house
G# A#
Though most years she just did without.
G# C#
Tell me, Sir, what am I gonna do?
G# A#m
Somehow I've got to buy these Christmas shoes!
G# D#
So I laid the money down;
G# C#
I just had to help him out.
G# A#
I'll never forget the look on his face
C# D#
When he said Mommas gonna look so great!
Repeat Chorus
Verse Three
G# D#
I knew that I got a glimpse of heavens love
G# C#
As he thanked me and ran out.
G# A#
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
G# D#
Just what Christmas is all about.
G# C#
I got a glimpse of heavens love
G# A#
As he thanked me and ran out.
G# A#m
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
C# D#
Just what Christmas is all about.
Repeat Chorus two times
There it is. Pretty simple song but it is fun to rock out to in December!
