Intro: C - C#dim - G/D - E7 - A7 - D7 - G 

    G                              D7                G 
I think I saw ol' Santa through my window Christmas eve 
    G                              D7         G 
My eyes were really droopy but I really do believe 
    Em               Bm            Em              E7 
It must've been ol' Santa 'cause I saw his big red hat 
       Am              D7                 G    F7  E7 
And I know my mom and dad can't fly like that, Oh  no, 
   Am             D7                  G         C - C#dim - G/D 
I know my mom and dad can't fly like that. 

     G                                  D7              G 
And then I heard some footsteps in the hall outside my door 
     G                                    D7                G 
The same ol' Christmas trick my dad had played since I was four 
     Em                Bm             Em             E7 
He stands outside my bedroom yelling "Ho! Ho! Ho!" because 
    Am              D7              G    F7  E7 
He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus, no  way, 
    Am             D7               G          C - C#dim - G/D 
He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus. 

   Eb             Bb                      Eb 
I think my daddy sees me peeking from my door 
    Fm    Gm         Bb/Ab  Bb  Eb 
But he pretends he's Santa  anyway 
      Eb                Bb                       Eb 
Every year he tries to fool me but I'm a big boy now  
   Fm               Bb            Eb         D7 
I don't believe in Santa or his sleigh... No way! 

      G                         D7                 G 
So I went back to my bed and I curled up nice and tight 
     G                            D7              G 
I stared out of my window and I looked into the night 
          Em         Bm                Em            E7 
And then, all of a sudden, through my window I could see 
       Am             D7      G  F7     E7      Am7 - D7 - G 
Santa Claus was flying by and smiling at me     



  C            G 
Santa Claus, Santa Claus 
    D7                G 
It must've been ol' Santa Claus 
  C            G 
Santa Claus, Santa Claus 
       D7              G 
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you 

         G                       D7             G 
Then I heard ol' Rudolph tellin' me to come outside 
     G                           D7            G 
He told me that ol' Santa wanted me to take a ride 
     Em              Bm            Em              E7 
I climbed out of my window and I jumped onto his sleigh 
     Am             D7     G  F7   E7 
And then ol' Santa took me up and away, 
 Am           D7         G 
Santa took me up up and away 

    G                                  D7           G 
We flew high above the rooftops of my sleepy town below 
   G                                   D7                  G 
I saw my big red school house and the town square picture show 
        Em              Bm        Em             
It was really past my bedtime and so ol' Santa said 
 Am                                           C - C#dim - G/D 
"Little boys like you should be in bed" 


      Eb               Bb 
So I hollered "Ho! Ho! Ho!" 
                     Eb 
And I put on Santa's hat 
 Fm     Gm     Bb/Ab     Bb      Eb 
Then he let me hold the reins a while 
    Eb              Bb                             Eb 
We pulled up to my window and I jumped back in my room 
       Fm               Bb          Eb - D7 
And I waved goodbye to Santa with a smile 


     G                                 D7                 G 
When I woke up Christmas morning, well it was clear and bright 
     G                               D7          G 
My parents said my window had blown open in the night 
    Em         Bm                Em              E7 
I smiled as I told them that it must've been the cat 
     Am                    D7             G    F7   E7 
And they asked me where I got my big red hat, Yeah yeah! 
      Am              D7              G 
They asked me where I got my big red hat. 



  C            G 
Santa Claus, Santa Claus 
    D7                G 
It must've been ol' Santa Claus 
  C            G 
Santa Claus, Santa Claus 
       D7              G 
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you 

      D7              G
