Chords
Don’t let the long names scare you off. Rule of thumb #1:
it will rarely hurt to chop off from the end (e.g. E7-9 is just a
spiced-up E7). Rule of thumb #2: a plain 7 or m7 will usually work just
fine.
A7-9 . D7+9 . | G7-9 . F#7-9 . | B7+9 . E7 . | A7 . . .
The [Dmaj7]jingle bells are [Em7]jingling
The [Dmaj7]streets are white with [A7+9]snow
The [Dmaj7]happy [Em7]crowds are [F#m7]mingl[G]ing
But there's [D7]no one that I know
I'm [G9]sure that you'll forgive me
[D7]If I [C7]don't enth[B7]use
I [E7-9]guess I've got the [A7]Christmas [F#7]blues[B7] [E7] [A7]
I've done my window shopping
There's not a store I've missed
But what's the use of stopping
When there's no one on your list
You'll know the way I'm feeling
When you love and you lose
I [E7-9]guess I've got the [A7]Christmas [D7]blues
[F#m7]When somebody [B9]wants you
[F#m7]Somebody needs[B9] you
[Em7]Christmas is a [C]joy of [Em6]joy
But [G#m7]friends when you're [C#9]lonely
You'll [G#m7]find that it's o[C#9]nly
A [F#m7]thing for little [B9]girls
[Em7] and little bo[A7]ys
May all your days be merry
Your seasons full of cheer
But 'til it's January
I'll just go and disappear
Oh Santa may have brought you some stars for your shoes
But Santa only brought me the blues
Those [E7-9]brightly packaged tinsel covered
A7/6 D . . . | G7-9 . F#7-9 . | B7+9 . E7 . | A7sus4 . A7
Christmas blues
(First half of verse instrumental)
Oh Santa may have brought you some stars for your shoes
But Santa only brought me the blues
Those brightly packaged tinsel covered
