A Christmas Carol

F                          D7
Christmas time is here, by golly,
G7          C7
Disapproval would be folly,
F        F7         Bb       Bbm
Deck the halls with hunks of holly,
F                G7        C7
Fill the cup and don't say "when."
F                         
Kill the turkeys, ducks and 
  D7
chickens,
G7                  C7
Mix the punch, drag out the dickens,
F    F7         Bb       Bbm
Even though the prospect sickens,
F        Gm7     C7   F
Brother, here we go a-gain.

             F7      Bb
On Christmas day you can't get sore,
            Bbm     F
Your fellow man you must adore,
        Dm      Db+     F       G7
There's time to rob him all the more

    C           G7        
The other three hundred and 
  C7
sixty-four.

    F                       D7
Rel-ations, sparing no expense'll
G7                C7
Send some useless old utensil,
F    F7       Bb      Bbm
Or a matching pen and pencil.
          F                G7     
SPOKEN - "just the thing I need! 
   C7
how nice!"
   F                      D7
It doesn't matter how sin-cere it
G7                C7
Is, nor how heart-felt the spirit,
F     F7        Bb     Bbm
Senti-ment will not en-dear it,
F         Gm7     C7     F
What's im-portant is the price.

F            C   F         C
Hark the her-ald tribune sings,
F  Am  Bb  Gm  F   C    F
Ad-ver-tis-ing wondrous things.
    Dm      A7     Dm    Am
God rest ye merry, merch-ants,
Bb  F   Bb   A   Dm   Gm   A
May you make the yule-tide pay.
F              Gm    C7 F
Angels we have heard on high
F    C7 F         C7  F
Tell us to go out and buy!

C7 F                            
So let the raucous sleigh bells 
D7
jingle,
G7                C7
Hail our dear old friend Kris 
Kringle,
F           C7         D7        
Driving his reindeer a-cross the 
Gm
sky.
D7    Gm                    C7  
Don't stand underneath when they
     F   C7   F
 fly by.
