Intro: Em  A7 (x4) 
 
       Em 
I was downtown Christmas shopping 
       A7 
Such a busy city street 
   C                                     D           Em 
I don't know how I noticed the piece of paper at my feet 
     Em                                      A7 
But somethin' made me pick it up, instead of goin' on my way 
    C 
I stopped and froze right in my tracks 
      B                  Em 
As I read what it had to say 
 
 
Chorus: 
    G 
Oh Santa, if you can't find me 
       C 
We're livin' out here on the street 
    Em                    C 
But I'll be watchin' for you 
            Em               C 
You're not gonna forget me, are you 
G 
Daddy says he knows you'll try 
    C                                  D 
But we might be too hard to find this year 
                    Em      
Oh Santa, I'm right here 
 
 
Em  A7 (x2) 
 
         Em 
It said, we don't have our house no more 
   A7 
I wish we could go home 
C                                   D                Em 
Mama says we will some day and she prays it won't be long 
     Em                              A7 
But they closed daddy's factory and took most of our things 
     C 
Now Santa, I don't need too much 
     B                  Em 
So this year could you bring 
 
C 
Bring my mom a coat that's warm 
           G 
Cause the one she's got is awful torn 
C 
Maybe dad could help you work 
Am               C    G   C 
Makin' toys for boys and girls

Em  A7  (repeat to the end while repeating "I'm right here")
