[Verse]
D                         F#7
Lost my favorite reindeer in a 
hurricane
Bm     Am       G             G#dim
Got soaking wet on account of rain
D                       F#7      
Countin' my troubles by threes 
     Bm7
and by twos
E7               A7             Eb7
Even Santa Claus gets the blues

D               F#7
What I wouldn't give for just one 
silent night
Bm          Am         G         
Just me and mama Claus by the 
  G#dim
warm fire light, yeah
D                           
But Christmas time is comin', 
          F#7             Bm7
there's just so much to do
E7   A7                   D     D7
Even Santa Claus gets the blues

Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
           G                       
But I know every single chimney 
      D
like the back of my hand
G                                 
People leave me milk and cookies, I 
D
just think that's grand
G            F#7         Bm7    
As the story goes, I'm a dearly 
      E7
loved man
        A              G          
But the reason for the season, 
        F#7              E7    Eb7
some folks just don't under-stand

[Verse]
D                              
So, it's back to the work shop to 
F#7
make more toys
Bm            Am          G     
Can't wait to give 'em to all 
            G#dim
the girls and boys
D                              
I'm hookin' up my sleigh, go 
F#7                 Bm7
a-head and spread the news
               E7   A7            
But sometimes, even Santa Claus 
       D
gets the blues

[Chorus]
        G                          
He knows every single chimney like 
   D
the back of his hand
       G                           
People leave him milk and cookies, 
    D
and he think that's grand
G            F#7          Bm7   
As the story goes, he's a dear 
         E7
and loved man
    A              G          
The reason for the season, some 
        F#7              E7    Eb7
folks just don't under-stand

[Verse]
D                               
So, it's back to the work shop, 
F#7
gotta make some more toys
Bm            Am          G

F#7                 Bm7
a-head and spread the news
               E7   G     G# A7
But sometimes, some-times even Santa
 Claus gets the blues
