Oh, the [D]weather [A]outside is [D]frightful,
But the [A]fire is so [A7]delightful,
And [Em]since we’ve no place to go,
Let it [A]snow, let it [A7]snow, let it [D]snow.


Oh, it [D]doesn’t show [A]signs of [D]stopping,
And I’ve [A]brought some corn for [A7]popping,
The [Em]lights are turned way down low,
Let it [A]snow, let it [A7]snow, let it [D]snow.


When we [A]finally kiss good night,
How I [E7]hate going out in the [A]storm.
But if you really hold me tight,
[D7]All the way [E7]home I’ll be [A]warm. [A7]


Oh, the [D]fire is [A]slowly [D]dying,
And my [A]dear we’re still [A7]goodbyeing,
But as [Em]long as you love me so,
Let it [A]snow, let it [A7]snow, let it [D]snow.


When we [A]finally kiss good night,
How I [E7]hate going out in the [A]storm.
But if you really hold me tight,
[D7]All the way [E7]home I’ll be [A]warm. [A7]


Oh, the [D]fire is [A]slowly [D]dying,
And my [A]dear we’re still good[A7]byeing,
But as [Em]long as you love me so,


Let it [A]snow, let it [A7]snow, let it [D]snow.
Let it [A]snow, let it [A7]snow, and [D]snow.
