    UNTIL SANTA'S GONE (MILK AND COOKIES)     Clint Black

B              E
Now I'm only five years old
      B              E
I've got to do just what I'm told
  B                               A            B
'cause Santa Claus is gonna be dropping in on me
B                          E
Now is there something I might have missed
B                        E
I had quite a few things on my list
B                          A                    B
I hope he can fit it all under that Christmas tree.
G#m                            Am
Now I know what he like for a late night snack
     Eb                     E
For years now it's been bringing him back
           B7
Milk and cookies
G#m                          Am
He'll come and go without a sound again
Eb                    E
But how in the world does he get in
              C#7
Ain't got a chimney
A                     G#
Close my eyes and concentrate
F#            A
Try to sleep it's getting late
C#m               B
All night long I lie awake
       Bbm           F#
Till Santa's Gone I just can't wait
B                          E
Now is there something I might have missed
B                        E
I had quite a few things on my list
B                          A                    B
I hope he can get it all under that Christmas tree.
G#m           Am
Sneak a peek down the hall
Eb                       E
I've got to check Now I don't recall
                B7
the milk and cookies
G#m              Am
I think I'm sure I got it all
Eb                E
Stockings hung a-long the wall
              C#7
Ain't got a chimney
A                     G#
Close my eyes and concentrate
F#                 A
I gotta sleep now it's getting late
C#                B
All night long I lie awake
       Bb            F#
Till Santa's Gone I just can't wait
F#
Just can't wait, just can't wait
B                           E
Could there be something I might have missed
B                        E
I had quite a few things on my list
B                          A                    B
I hope he can fit it all under that Christmas tree.
B                          A                    B
I hope he can fit it all under my Christmas tree.

Let's see, I know he can fit...he can fit the airplane under there.  He can get the bicycle in there
and the...and the gum ball machine and don't know what he's gonna do with that horse.
