This is the result of an hours work and it's about as good as I can get it. If you
closely to the recording you'll notice some places where there's some hammering on and
off between some of the chords. Mostly around the D's. Play it straight or embellish
some hammering and pulling off of your own. It sounds good either way.
Capo 1st fret
Santa knows what I want for Christmas
but Jesus knows what I need
it can't be purchased wrapped up and placed
under an eight foot tree
I need patience, kindness - virtues like these
to bend on my knee at the manger
Santa may bring things that last for a year
but eternal gifts come from the Savior
some days come where I'm plain selfish
I can't think of no one but me
then I think of all that I'm blessed with
and that's always best to give than to receive
I need faithfulness, love, generosity
to open my home to a stranger
Santa may bring things that last for a year
but eternal gifts come from the Savior
I need patience, kindness, generosity
to bend on my knee at the manger
Santa may bring things that last for a year
but eternal gifts come from the Savior
