Key: AA | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

Verse 1:
             A
It’s the news that no one hopes for,
          F#m
Every parent's greatest fear
D
Finding out the child you love so much
                   A 
Might not make it through the year
                  A
Now the thought of spending Christmas
      F#m
Without him just feels wrong
                         D
They’ve been praying for a miracle,
                                                            A
Now they're praying he can just hold on


Chorus:
       D2                           F#m
For one last Christmas, one last time,
 D2                                     E                      
One last season when the world is right,
                 F#m
One more telling of the story,
               E                         F#m
One more Verse of Silent Night,
                       D2                               E
They’d give anything so he could have
                  A
One last Christmas.

Verse 2:
   A
Middle of September
         F#m
Still seventy degrees
           D2
Daddy climbs up in the attic

Brings down candles
                                             A
Hangs the lights on all the trees,
                A
Then the neighbors started asking
                F#m
And pretty soon word got around
D2
First it was the neighborhood,
                                                              A
Before too long they lit up that whole town. 


Chorus:
       D2                          F#m
For one last Christmas, one last time,
D2                                      E
One last season when the world is right,
                  F#m
One more telling of the story,
                 E                          F#m
One more Verse of Silent Night,
                      D2                                E
They’d give anything so he could have
                       A
One last Christmas.


Verse 3:  
               A
Twenty-seventh of October,
       F#m
His time was wearing thin
                    D2
Friends and family, even strangers
                                                                A
That they didn’t know brought presents in
               A
He was weak but he was smiling
          F#m
Like there was nothing even wrong
          D2
They said he wouldn’t make it,
                                                    A
Looks like he got to see it after all


Chorus:
D2                              F#m    
One last Christmas, one last time,
D2                                     E
One last season when the world is right,
                 F#m
One more telling of the story,
                   E                      F#m
One more Verse of Silent Night,
                      D2                              E
They’d give anything so he could have
                 A
One last Christmas.
