Key:
G D G Haul out the holly
D G Em Put up the tree before my spirit
E7 falls again
Am D Am Fill up the stocking
D Am D Am I may be rushing things, but
D B7 E7 deck the halls again now
Am D For we need a little Christmas
G Em Right this very minute
C D Candles in the window
G G7 Carols at the spinet
Am D Yes, we need a little Christmas
G Em Right this very minute
A A7 It hasn't snowed a single flurry
D D7 But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry
G D G So climb down the chimney
D G Put up the brightest string of
Em E7 lights I've ever seen
Am D Am Slice up the fruitcake
D Am D Am It's time we hung some tinsel on
D B7 E7 that evergreen bough
Am D For I've grown a little leaner,
G Em grown a little colder,
Continues after the ad
C D Grown a little sadder,
G G7 grown a little older
Am D And I need a little angel
G Em sitting on my shoulder.
Am C D G I need a little Christmas now.
G D G Haul out the holly
D G Em Well, once I taught you all to
E7 live each living day.
Am D Am D Fill up the stocking
Am D Am But Auntie Mame, it's one week
D B7 E7 past Thanksgiving Day now
Am D But we need a little Christmas
G Em Right this very minute
C D Candles in the window
G G7 Carols at the spinet
Am D And we need a little Christmas
G Em Right this very minute
A A7 It hasn't snowed a single flurry
D D7 But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry
G D G So climb down the chimney
D G Em It's been a long time since I
E7 felt good, neighborly
Am D Am Slice up the fruitcake
D Am D Am It's time we hung some tinsel on
D B7 E7 that mayberry bough
Am D For we need a little music
G Em Need a little laughter
C D Need a little singing
G G7 Ringing through the rafter
Am D And we need a little snappy
G Em Happy ever after
Am C D G We need a little Christmas now (instrumental)
