When Christmas Comes

D
When I go home I will walk via 
Tinseltown
Bm
Down LED avenues, jingle bells all 
around
A
Where they pluck all the stars from 
out the sky
G
And they hang them from rafters up 
on high

D
I wished away the last year, it was 
the worst of times
Bm
Audition for ass end of horse in 
village pantomime
A
Just to hear your voice calling from
 the back
G
“it’s behind you!” oh yeh thank God 
for that

[Chorus]
D5
Christmas Eve, torrential rain
B5
One single snowflake on this plain
A5
I held you in gloved hands
B5                  A5
And I’m not letting go
B5                  A5
I’m not letting go

D
New Year to November
Continues after the ad
Bm                            A
It’s looming near, it lingers close
A
Into December
G
When Christmas comes, what’s lurking
 goes

[Verse]
D
Saved hard all Winter to ensure your
 stocking’s full
Bm
Joined the choir, took myself door 
to door
A
Making small change with all the 
carollers
G
Every mention of His name changed to
 yours

D
A dream of you stood naked as 
Christmas tree
Bm
Left unattended ’til second week of 
February
A
In the morning, you’re lying next to
 me
G
Covered in gold, stole from nativity

[Chorus]
D5
Christmas Eve, torrential rain
B5
One single snowflake on this plain
A5
I held you in gloved hands
B5                  A5
And I’m not letting go
B5                  A5
I’m not letting go

D
New Year to November
Bm                            A
It’s looming near, it lingers close
A
Into December
G
When Christmas comes, what’s lurking
 goes

Can you hear it?
Let the bells chime!

Lift your glasses high
For the Boy Child!

A
Can you hear it?
Let the bells chime!

Lift your glasses high
For the Boy Child!
