Sleep well, little children, [G C/G]

beneath ev'ry star. [Am D7]
Soon the snowflakes will fall [G/B Em7]

Ev'ry wish, one and all, [Em7 Fmaj7]
waiting under the tree. [D7 G/B Am7 G]
Sleep well, little children, [G C/G]
pleasant dreams through the night; [G C G]
Tomorrow is Christmas, [Em C]

Soon you'll hear the bells ring, [G/B Em7]
time for dreams to come true [Am/C F#m7-5]
As the world wakes to bring [Em7 Fmaj7]
Merry Christmas to you. [D7 G/B Am7 G]
