The Night Before Christmas Song piano leadsheet with chords

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,

not a creature was sitrring, not even a mouse.

All the stockings were hung by the chimney with care in the hope that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.

Then what to my wondering eyes should appear,

a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.

A little old driver so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick.

And more rapid than eagles his reindeer all came,

as he shouted, "On Dasher" and each reindeer's name.

And so up to the housetop the reindeer soon flew,

with the sleigh full of toys and Saint Nicholas,

too. Down the chimney he came with a leap and a bound.

He was dressed all in fur and his belly was round.

He spoke not a word but went straight to his work and filled all the stockings,

then turned with a jerk.

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

then giving a nod up the chimney he rose.

But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,

"Merry Christmas to all and to each reindeer's name.

And so all a good night."
