[Verse]
G G G/F G/F Em Em
It was almost Christmas time, and
Em7 Em7 C C
there I stood in another line,
D D Am7 Am7
Trying to buy that last gift or two,
D D
not really in the Christmas mood.

G G G/F G/F Em Em
Standing right in front of me was a
Em7 Em7 C C
little boy waiting anxiously.
D D Am7 Am7
Pacing 'round like little boys do,
D D C C
and in his hands, he held a pair of shoes.

Em Em D D
And his clothes were old and worn,
Em Em D D
He was dirty from head to toe
C C D D
and when it came his time to pay,
Am7 Am7 D D
I couldn't believe what I heard him say:


[Chorus]
A A E E
Sir, I want to buy these shoes
F#m F#m F#m/E F#m/E
for my momma, please.
D D E E A A
It's Christmas Eve, and these shoes are just her size.
A A E E
Could you hurry, sir?
F#m F#m F#m/E F#m/E
Daddy says there's not much time.
D D E E
You see, she's been sick for quite a while,
D D E E
and I know these shoes will make her smile,
D D E E
and I want her to look beautiful
Bm7 Bm7 E7 E7 A A Bm7 Bm7 E7 E7
if momma meets Jesus tonight.


[Verse]
A A A/G A/G
They counted pennies for what seemed like years,
F#m F#m F#m/E F#m/E D D
and the cashier said, "son, there's not enough here."
E E D D
he searched his pockets frantically,
E E A A
then he turned and he looked at me. He said,
A/G A/G F#m F#m
"Momma made Christmas good at our house, and
F#m/E F#m/E
most years she just did without,
D D E E
tell me sir, what am I gonna do?
D D E E A A
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes.

F#m F#m E E
So I laid the money down,
F#m F#m E E
I just had to help him out,
D D E E D D
and I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
E E
momma's gonna look so great.


[Chorus]
B B F# F#
Sir, I want to buy these shoes
G#m G#m G#m/F# G#m/F#
for my momma, please.
E E F# F# B B
It's Christmas Eve, and these shoes are just her size.
B B F# F#
Could you hurry, sir?
G#m G#m G#m/F# G#m/F#
Daddy says there's not much time.
E E F# F#
You see, she's been sick for quite a while,
E E F# F#
and I know these shoes will make her smile,
E E F# F#
and I want her to look beautiful
C#7m C#7m F#7 F#7 B B
if momma meets Jesus tonight.



[Bridge]
C#m7 C#m7 B B
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
C#m7 C#m7 B B
as he thanked me and ran out.
A A E E F# F#
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
C#m7 C#m7 F#7 F#7
what Christmas is all about.



[Chorus]
B B F# F#
Sir, I want to buy these shoes
G#m G#m G#m/F# G#m/F#
for my momma, please.
E E F# F# B B
It's Christmas Eve, and these shoes are just her size.
B B F# F#
Could you hurry, sir?
G#m G#m G#m/F# G#m/F#
Daddy says there's not much time.
E E F# F#
You see, she's been sick for quite a while,
E E F# F#
and I know these shoes will make her smile,
E E F# F#
and I want her to look beautiful
C#7m C#7m F#7 F#7 B B
if momma meets Jesus tonight.


E E F# F#
I want her to look beautiful
C#m7 C#m7 F#7 F#7 B B
if momma meets Jesus tonight.
