| Come on, weatherman, |
| F | D | |
| give us a forecast snowy white |
| G | Em | |
| Can't you hear the prayers |
| F | D | |
| of every childlike heart tonight |
| C | G | |
| Rockies are callin', Denver snow fallin' |
| D | G | |
| Somebody said it's four feet deep |
| C | G | |
| But it doesn't matter, give me the laughter |
| D | D7 | |
| I'm gonna choose to keep... |
| G | C | |
| Another tender Tennessee Christmas |
| D | G | |
| The only Christmas for me |
| Em | Am7 | |
| Where the love circles around us |
| C | D | |
| Like the gifts around our tree |
| G | Bm | |
| Well, I know there's more snow up in Colorado |
| Dm7 | C | |
| Than my roof will ever see |
| C | D | G | |
| But a tender Tennessee Christmas |
| C | D | G | |
| is the only Christmas for me. |
| G | Em | F | D | |
| Every now and then I get a wandering urge to see |
| G | Em | F | D | |
| Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town's for me |
| C | G | |
| There's a parade there, we'd have it made there |
| D | G | |
| Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve |
| C | G | |
| Sure sounds inviting, awfully exciting |
| D | D7 | |
| Still I think I'm gonna keep... |
| G | C | |
| Another tender Tennessee Christmas |
| D | G | |
| The only Christmas for me |
| Em | Am7 | |
| Where the love circles around us |
| C | D | |
| Like the gifts around our tree |
| G | Bm | |
| Well, they say in L.A. it's a warm holiday |
| Dm7 | C | |
| It's the only place to be |
| C | D | G | |
| But a tender Tennessee Christmas |
| C | D | G | |
| is the only Christmas for me. |
