Here comes Santa Claus

Here comes Santa Claus
G7
Right down Santa Claus Lane

Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
C              C7
Pullin' on the reins
F         D#dim    C        A7
Bells are ringin', children singin'
Dm7    G         C
All is merry and bright
   F         D#dim         C        A7
So hang your stockings and say your prayers
       Dm7         G7      C  (G C6)
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

[<span class="chorus">Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus</span>]
Right down Santa Claus Lane
[<span class="chorus">He's got a bag that's filled with toys
For boys and girls again</span>]
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle
Oh what a beautiful sight
So jump in bed, and cover your head
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here comes Santa Claus
[<span class="chorus">Here comes Santa Claus</span>]
Right down Santa Claus Lane
[<span class="chorus">He doesn't care if you're rich of poor</span>]
for he loves you just the same
[<span class="chorus">Santa knows that we're God's children</span>]
and that makes everything right
[<span class="chorus">Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer</span>]
cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

[Instrumental verse]

[<span class="chorus">Here comes Santa Claus</span>]
Here comes Santa Claus
[<span class="chorus">Right down Santa Claus Lane</span>]
He'll come around when the chimes ring out,
when it's Christmas morn again.
[<span class="chorus">Peace on earth will come to all
If we just follow the light</span>]
Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

[Half tempo:] [<span class="chorus">Peace on earth will come to all</span>]
If we just follow the light
[<span class="chorus">Let's give thanks to the Lord above</span>]
[Regular tempo:] 'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
[<span class="chorus">'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.</span>]

[Half tempo:] Let's give thanks to the Lord above
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
G C6
tonight
G C6
tonight.
