Christmas Will Be Different This Year

 D

[Verse 1]
D              Bm
Snow should be falling
     G             D
Like angels to the ground
                     Em
Cathedrals should be singing,
        D              Em
But the pews are empty now

    D           Bm
And I should be driving
      G           D
On my way home to you
         E         G
Counting decorated houses
        E               A
Singing every Christmas tune


[Chorus]
    Bm                                Em
But I won’t be there and you won’t be here
Continues after the ad
Em7               A              G    D
Christmas will be different this year


[Verse 2]
D                   F#m
I’ll set the dinner table
    G                   D
The way that you taught me
     A                     Em
Send greeting cards and presents
     A               G   A
Hang lights on every tree

         D
But I’ll miss you Christmas morning
          G        A      Bm
While the world is waking up
         E                  G
But I’ll keep the fireplace glowing
    E            A   F#
But it won’t be enough


[Chorus]
       Bm                                E
‘cause I won’t be there and you won’t be here
         G                       D   Bm
But I’ll look for the magic any------way
         Em           F#              Bm
And I’ll keep our traditions just the same
            E                 A              D
Even though Christmas will be different this year

But I won’t be there and you won’t be here
  Em7          A                      Bm
Oh   Christmas will be different this year
   E                 A              Bm    E
Oh Christmas will be different this year
         Em                   A          D G A D
Oh Christmas will be different this year
