[Verse]
G G/F Em
It was almost Christmas time, and
Em7 C
there I stood in another line,
D Am7
Trying to buy that last gift or two,
D
not really in the Christmas mood.
G G/F Em
Standing right in front of me was a
Em7 C
little boy waiting anxiously.
D Am7
Pacing 'round like little boys do,
D C
and in his hands, he held a pair of shoes.
Em D
And his clothes were old and worn,
Em D
He was dirty from head to toe
C D
and when it came his time to pay,
Am7 D
I couldn't believe what I heard him say:
[Chorus]
A E
Sir, I want to buy these shoes
F#m F#m/E
for my momma, please.
D E A
It's Christmas Eve, and these shoes are just her size.
A E
Could you hurry, sir?
F#m F#m/E
Daddy says there's not much time.
D E
You see, she's been sick for quite a while,
D E
and I know these shoes will make her smile,
D E
and I want her to look beautiful
Bm7 E7 A Bm7 E7
if momma meets Jesus tonight.
[Verse]
A A/G
They counted pennies for what seemed like years,
F#m F#m/E D
and the cashier said, "son, there's not enough here."
E D
he searched his pockets frantically,
E A
then he turned and he looked at me. He said,
A/G F#m
"Momma made Christmas good at our house, and
F#m/E
most years she just did without,
D E
tell me sir, what am I gonna do?
D E A
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes.
F#m E
So I laid the money down,
F#m E
I just had to help him out,
D E D
and I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
E
momma's gonna look so great.
[Chorus]
B F#
Sir, I want to buy these shoes
G#m G#m/F#
for my momma, please.
E F# B
It's Christmas Eve, and these shoes are just her size.
B F#

G#m G#m/F#

E F#
You see, she's been sick for quite a while,
E F#
and I know these shoes will make her smile,

and I want her to look beautiful
C#7m F#7 B
if momma meets Jesus tonight.
[Bridge]
C#m7 B
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
C#m7 B
as he thanked me and ran out.
A E F#
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
C#m7 F#7
what Christmas is all about.
[Chorus]
B F#
Sir, I want to buy these shoes
G#m G#m/F#
for my momma, please.

It's Christmas Eve, and these shoes are just her size.

E F#
and I know these shoes will make her smile,
E F#
and I want her to look beautiful
C#7m F#7 B
if momma meets Jesus tonight.
E F#
I want her to look beautiful
C#m7 F#7 B
if momma meets Jesus tonight.
