[G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C]

LAST [G] NIGHT AS I WAS [C] WALKING
THROUGH THE [G] STREETS OF MY HOME [C] TOWN
I COULD [G] HEAR THE CHURCH BELL [C] RINGING
AS THE [Em] SNOW WAS FALLING [D] DOWN
I WAS [G] MINDING MY OWN [C] BUSINESS
SIMPLY [G] FOLLOWING MY [C] FEET
WHEN A [G] STRANGER STUMBLED [C] UP TO ME,
[Em] STOPPED AND TOUCHED MY [D] SLEEVE

SAYING "[C] HEY, WHAT YOU [D] SAY?
PLEASE [G] SPARE SOME CHANGE IF YOU [C] WILL
IT'S SO [G] COLD HERE [Em] AND I'M [D] HUNGRY
THIS [C] CHRISTMAS [D] ON PRIDE [G] HILL"

[C] [G] [C]

SHE HAD [G] EYES OF FADED [C] HAZEL
SHE SAID HER [G] NAME WAS MARY [C] LOU
SHE'D [G] RUN AWAY THREE [C] YEARS AGO
AND SHE'D BEEN [Em] ON THESE STREETS FOR [D] TWO
SHE SAID SHE [G] HAD SOME FRIENDS IN NUN-[C]-EATON
AND SHE COULD [G] TAKE THE TRAIN TO [C] THERE
IF SHE COULD [G] ONLY SOMEHOW [C] FIND SOMEONE
WHO'D GIVE A [Em] FIVER FOR THE [D] FARE

SHE SAID "[C] HEY, WHAT YOU [D] SAY?
PLEASE [G] SPARE SOME CHANGE IF YOU [C] WILL
IT'S SO [G] COLD HERE [Em] AND I'M [D] HUNGRY
THIS [C] CHRISTMAS [D] ON PRIDE [G] HILL"

[C] [G] [C]

DIGGING [G] IN MY TROUSER [C] POCKET
PULLING OUT [G] ANYTHING I [C] COULD
I PUT THE [G] PENNIES IN HER [C] PALM AND SAID
"I ONLY [Em] HOPE THIS DOES SOME [D] GOOD"
WELL SHE [G] WISHED ME A MERRY [C] CHRISTMAS
BEFORE SHE [G] TURNED AND WALKED A-[C]-WAY
I [G] WANDERED ON BUT [C] BEFORE TOO LONG
I HEARD A-[Em]-NOTHER STRANGER [D] SAY

"[C] HEY, WHAT YOU [D] SAY?
PLEASE [G] SPARE SOME CHANGE IF YOU [C] WILL
IT'S SO [G] COLD HERE [Em] AND I'M [D] HUNGRY
THIS [C] CHRISTMAS [D] ON PRIDE [G] HILL"

"[C] HEY, WHAT YOU [D] SAY?
PLEASE [G] SPARE SOME CHANGE IF YOU [C] WILL
IT'S SO [G] COLD HERE [Em] AND I'M [D] HUNGRY
THIS [C] CHRISTMAS [D] ON PRIDE [G] HILL"
