Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos.......everybody

knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Db6     Abm7     Db7    Gbmaj7  B9
Help to make the season bright

They know that Santa's on his way
            Abm7             Db7            Gbmaj7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
          F#m7           B7       Emaj7
And every mother's child is gonna spy
          Eb7                         Ab7
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
 
Db6        Ebm7          Fm7      Gbmaj7 (Fm7 Ebm7)
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
Db6        Abm7    Db7     Gbmaj7  B9
To kids from one to ninety-two
  Db6              B9        Bbm7        Gm7  Gb7
Although it's been said many times, many ways
      Fm7 E9 Ebm7 Ab7 Db6
Merry Christmas   to you

I transposed this up a half step which makes the first chord a D6. The chords are a little easier on the guitar that way in my opinion. Give it a try!
