Verse 1
G              G             Em7              G/D           
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line 
C                      Dsus      D   Am7                  Dsus    D          
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
G                     G            Em7                  G/D
Standin' right in front of me, was a little boy waiting anxiously
C                Dsus         D   Am7                 Dsus  D          G
Pacin' round like little boys do, and in his hands he held a pair of shoes
         Em7                  G           Em7             Dsus  D
And his clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
    Am7                G/B           G/C                   Dsus        D
But when it came his time to pay, I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus
            A            E         F#m          E
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my mama please
  D(add2)                    E                  A      F#m
Its Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
E          A        E                   F#m 
Could you hurry sir? Daddy says there's not much time
A     D(add2)                 E 
You see, she's been sick for quite a while 
 D(add2)                         E
And I know these shoes will make her smile
 D(add2)                Esus   E    Bm7   A     D   E7     A
And I want her to look beautiful, if mama meets Jesus tonight

Then the cashier said son there's not enough here
