Matthew West - One Last Christmas Chords

[Intro]
 
G   G   Em   Em   D   Cadd9
 
 
[Verse 1]
          G
It’s the news that no one hopes for,
       Em
Every parent's greatest fear
D                                  Cadd9
Finding out the child you love so much
                               G
Might not make it through the year
         G
Now the thought of spending Christmas
    Em
Without him just feels wrong
               D
They’ve been praying for a miracle,
Cadd9                                 G
Now they're praying he can just hold on.
 
 
[Chorus]
    Cadd9      G        Em         D
For one last Christmas, one last time,
Cadd9     G               Em          D
One last season when the world is right,
          Cadd9          G
One more telling of the story,
          D               Em
One more verse of Silent Night,
             Am               G/B Cadd9
They’d give anything so he could have
D         G
One last Christmas.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 G
Middle of September
       Em
Still seventy degrees
       D
Daddy climbs up in the attic
             Cadd9
Brings down candles
                             G
Hangs the lights on all the trees,
          G
Then the neighbors started asking
            Em
And pretty soon word got around
D
First it was the neighborhood
   Cadd9                                G
Before too long they lit up that whole town.
 
 
[Chorus]
    Cadd9     G        Em         D
For one last Christmas, one last time,
Cadd9     G               Em          D
One last season when the world is right,
          Cadd9          G
One more telling of the story,
          D               Em
One more verse of Silent Night,
             Am               G/B Cadd9
They’d give anything so he could have
D         Cadd9   G/B  Em  D  Cadd9  G   D
One last Christmas.
 
 
[Verse 3]
       G
Twenty-seventh of October,
     Em
His time was wearing thin
             D
Friends and family, even strangers
           Cadd9                       G
That they didn’t know brought presents in
        G
He was weak but he was smiling
                Em
Like there was nothing even wrong
      D
They said he wouldn’t make it,
      Cadd9                       G
Looks like he got to see it after all.
 
 
[Chorus]
Cadd9      G        Em         D
One last Christmas, one last time,
Cadd9     G               Em       D
One last season when the world is right,
          Cadd9          G
One more telling of the story,
          D              Em       Em
One more verse of Silent Night,
             Am                  G/B Cadd9
They’d give everything so he could   have
          G        G
One last Christmas
          Em      Em   D   Cadd9   G
One last Christmas.
