[Intro]
| A7 D7 G7 F#7 | B7 E7 A7    |


[Verse]
    Dmaj7            Em7
The jingle bells are jingling
    Dmaj7                  A7#9
The streets are white with snow
    Dmaj7 Em7        F#m7 G7
The happy crowds are mingling
            D7
But there's no one that I know
    G7
I'm sure that you'll forgive me
D    C7       B7
If I don't enthuse
  E7                 A7        | F#7 B7 E7 A7 |
I guess I've got the Christmas blues


[Verse]
     Dmaj7          Em7
I've done my window shopping
        Dmaj7            A7#9
There's not a store I've missed
    Dmaj7      Em7    F#m7 G7
But what's the use of stopping
             D7
When there's no one on your list
       G7
You'll know the way I'm feeling
     D        C7      B
When you love and you lose
  E7                 A7        D7
I guess I've got the Christmas blues


[Bridge]
F#m7          B7
When somebody wants you
F#m7      B7
 Somebody needs you
Em             C/E    Em6
Christmas is a joy of joy
    G#m7                C#7
But friends when you're lonely
G#m7                  C#7
You'll find that it's only
  F#m7             B7   Em7         A7
A thing for little girls and little boys


[Verse]
    Dmaj7            Em7
May all your days be merry
     Dmaj7           A7#9
Your seasons full of cheer
     Dmaj7    Em7 F#m7 G7
But 'til it's Janua-   ry
             D7
I'll just go and disappear
   G7
Oh Santa may have brought you
     D         C7   B7
Some stars for your shoes
    E7         A7             |  F#7  B7  |
But Santa only brought me the blues
      E7                                A7         | D7    G7 F#7 | B7 E7 A7    |
Those brightly packaged tinsel covered ... Christmas blues

| Dmaj7 Em7 F#m7 G7 | D7 |
 (harmonica solo)
   G7
Oh Santa may have brought you
     D         C7   B7
Some stars for your shoes
    E7         A7             |  F#7  B7  |
But Santa only brought me the blues
      E7                                A7         | D7    F#7 G7 | B7 E7 A7 D7
