[Verse 1]
G C
It was the night before Christmas, it was love at first sight
Em7 D
The carolers sang as they danced through the night
G C
She was a small town girl, he was a traveling guy
Em7 G
He never caught her name before they said their goodbyes
| C / / / | D / G / |
G C
A couple years later he was out on the road
Em7 D
Having Christmas dinner in a diner alone
G C
When he saw a young waitress with a gleam in her eye
Em7 G
Her favorite day of the year she showed her spirits were high
C G
She said sir can you shed a little holiday cheer
Em7 D
A simple Christmas story was all she wanted to hear
G C
He looked prepared with a smile as he started to say,
Em7 G
Here's my favorite Christmas story about a girl with no name
[Chorus]
G C D
He met her up in Delaware in 1937
G C D
She was wearing red lipstick to match her pretty dress
G C D C
December 24th at a quarter till elevenâs when he finally gained the
D G
courage to ask her to dance
| C / / / | D / G / |
[Verse 2]
G C
Every holiday season as he traveled he'd
Em7 G
tell about his Christmas dance partner that he never knew well
G C
He'd share his favorite story with the locals he met
Em7 G
He was called the Christmas story tellin traveling man
| C / / / | D / G / |
G C
By age 53 he had done settled down
Em7 D
All the neighborhood kids liked to gather around
G C
Just to listen to his stories about his life on the road
Em7 G
All he had now were these children he told
C G
And every Christmas eve they showed up before dark
Em7 D
He'd tell them all the story but they knew it by heart
G C
They could quote it word for word, he always told it the same.
Em7 G
It was his favorite Christmas story called the girl with no name
[Chorus]
G C D
He met her up in Delaware in 1937
G C D
She was wearing red lipstick to match her pretty dress
G C D C
December 24th at a quarter till elevenâs when he finally gained the
D G
courage to ask her to dance

[Verse 3]
G C
Twenty years later as he took his last breath
Em7 D
It was on a cold Christmas morning on a hospital bed
G C
The children were grown, he had nobody left
Em7 D
Except the little old nurse who was holding his hand
C G
He said Ma'am can you share a little holiday cheer
Em7 D
A simple Christmas story was all he wanted to hear
G C
But his eyes filled with tears at the words that she spoke
Em7 G
Because his favorite Christmas story was the one that she told
[Chorus Final]
G C D
She said I met him up in Delaware in 1937
G C D
Though I never caught his name he was a traveling man
G C D
December 24th at a quarter till eleven
C D G
I'm so glad he got the courage to ask me to dance.
