E                      F#m              A         E   F#m A
Little boy six year old, sitting on his Grandpa's knee
 E                     B                F#m     A                  E  B   F#m A
Little did he know it way back then, but he was makin' Christmas a memory
 E                   B                     F#m              A       E  B F#m A
Grandpa asked that little boy, "What does Christmas really mean to you?"
         E                    B                  F#m A           E  B F#m A
And the boy talked of snow and stockings and toys all shiny and new
  F#m                                    A                             C#m     B
Grandpa laughed and shook his head and said, "Let me tell you what it means to me"
       F#m                              A              B
And he held that little boy close as he pointed to the top of the Christmas tree he said

[Chorus]
                  A         E
Don't forget the star this Christmas
                  A                E
Don't forget the greatest gift of all
                     A     B        C#m
The One who came to shine away the dark
                  F#m               A
Bringin' hope for every heart this Christmas
                  E B F#m
Don't forget the staaaaar
                  E  B F#m A
Don't forget the star

[Verse 2]
  E              B                    F#m   A                  E B F#m A
Little boys grow up too fast, and those mem'ries they sure do fade
          E                  B             F#m           A       E  B F#m A
And that Christmas Eve with Grandpa seems about a million miles away
                F#m                           A                 C#m
These days the bills are piling' up, and the world is weighing down
                               B          F#m
He's got a little girl of his own, and he knows grown men don't cry
            A                           B
But as that girl looks in his eyes, he remembers his Grandpa's song

[Chorus]
                  A          E
Don't forget the star this Christmas
                   A               E
Don't forget the greatest gift of all
                      A    B        C#m
The One who came to shine away the dark
                  F#m               A
Bringin' hope for every heart this Christmas
                  C#m  B E A  F#m
Don't forget the star

[Verse 3] (mute strum)
E                                           F#m      A                   E     B   F#m A
 It was shining' bright in the eastern sky, above a manger two thousand years ago
        E                          F#m                     A       E          B   F#m A
And it fills my heart with joy to realize that star still guidin' lost souls home
        E             B         F#m               A            E            B         F#m A
And I think about Grandpa as I raise my daughter high, as she hangs a star upon the tree
       E                B         F#m             A
And a tear comes to my eye, as I think about the way that
 E          B         F#m
Jesus was bought for you and me

[Chorus 2]
                  A          E
Don't forget the star this Christmas
                   A               E
Don't forget the greatest gift of all
                     A     B        C#m
The One who came to shine away the dark
                  F#m           a
Bringin' hope for every heart Ohhhhhh

                            E
Don't forget the star this Christmas
                   A               E
Don't forget the greatest gift of all
                     A     B        C#m
The One who came to shine away the dark
                  F#m               A
Bringin' hope for every heart this Christmas
                  E B F#m A
Don't forget the staaaaar
                   E B F#m A
Don't forget the star
