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

Verse:
 G                   D  
I knew that I got a glimpse of heavens love  
 G             C  
As he thanked me and ran out.  
 G                             A  
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me  
 G         D  
Just what Christmas is all about.  
 G               C  
I got a glimpse of heavens love  
 G             A  
As he thanked me and ran out.  
 G                        Am  
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me  
 C         D  
Just what Christmas is all about.
