Christmas Carol

G                             C
I was playin? Santa Claus downtown on Christmas Eve
       D                                        G
When a little girl of 3 or 4 climbed up onto my knee
        G                               C
I could tell she had a Christmas wish behind those eyes of blue
     D                                                     G
So I asked her ?What?s your name and what can Santa do for you??

Chorus -------------
              C                              G
She said, ?My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas Day
  C                 G            A7             D
I don?t know who my daddy is and mommy?s gone away
C                               G              C
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
     D                                       G
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own??

Well all that I could say was Santa would do the best he could
      E7                                           A
And I set her down and told her now remember to be good
    A                              D
She said ?I will? and walked away, turned to wave goodbye
        E7                                            A
And I?m glad she wasn?t close enough to see old Santa cry

Early Christmas morning I got up and dialed the phone
    F#7                                              B
And made a few arrangements at the County Children?s home
     B                                E
They told me it would be all right to pick her up today
       F#7                                       B
Now my little Christmas Carol won?t ever have to say
