Chord One Last Christmas by Matthew West

verse 1 : G its the news that no one hopes for , Em every parent’s greatest fear C 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 C theyve been praying for a miracle , G now they’re praying he can just hold on chorus : C2 Em for one last christmas , one last time , C2 D one last season when the world is right , Em one more telling of the story , D Em one more verse of silent night , C2 D theyd give anything so he could have G one last christmas . verse 2 : G middle of september Em still seventy degrees C2 Daddy climbs up in the attic brings down candles G hangs the lights on all the trees , G then the neighbors started asking Em and pretty soon word got around C2 first it was the neighborhood , G before too long they lit up that whole town . chorus : C2 Em for one last christmas , one last time , C2 D one last season when the world is right , Em one more telling of the story , D Em one more verse of silent night , C2 D theyd give anything so he could have G one last christmas . verse 3 : G twenty - seventh of october , Em his time was wearing thin C2 friends and family , even strangers G that they didnt know brought presents in G he was weak but he was smiling Em like there was nothing even wrong C2 they said he wouldnt make it , G looks like he got to see it after all chorus : C2 Em one last christmas , one last time , C2 D one last season when the world is right , Em one more telling of the story , D Em one more verse of silent night , C2 D theyd give anything so he could have G one last christmas .
