Strum Two Verses
[A] "Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong
'Cause it is [A]my favorite holiday
But[D] all this year's been a busy blur
Don't thin[C]k I have the ener[B]gy
To [A]add to my already mad rush
Just 'ca[A]use it 'tis the season.
The perf[D]ect gift for me would be
Com [C]pletions and connect[B]ions left from
[A] Last year, ski shop,
Enc[A]ounter, most interesting.
[D] Had his number but never the time
[C] Most of '81 passed al[B]ong those lines.
So [A]deck those halls, trim those trees
[A] Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
[D] I just need to catch my breath,
[E] Christmas by my se[A]lf this year.

[A] Calendar picture, frozen landscape,
[A] Chilled this room for twenty-four days,
[D] Evergreens, sparkling snow
[C] Get this winter over with![B]
Flashback to spr[A]ingtime, saw him again,
[A] Would've been good to go for lunch,
[D] Couldn't agree when we were both free.
We tried[C], we said we'd keep[B] in touch.
[A] Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,
[A] Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
[D] No, this time it was me,
[C] Sunburn in the thir[B]d degree.
[A] Now the calendar's just one page
And, of cour[A]se, I am excited.
To[D]night's the night, I've set my mind
Not to d[E]o too much about it.[A]

Merry Ch[A]ristmas! Merry Christm[A]as!
But I th[E]ink I'll miss this one thi[A]s year.
Merry Ch[A]ristmas! Merry Christma[A]s!
But I th[E]ink I'll miss this one this[A] year.
Merry Ch[A]ristmas! Merry Christma[A]s!
But I th[E]ink I'll miss this one thi[A]s year.
Merry Ch[A]ristmas! Merry Chri[A]stmas!
But I th[E]ink I'll miss this one [A]this year.
[A] Hardly dashing through the snow
[A] 'Cause I bundled up too tight.
[D] Last minute, had to do
A few ca[C]rds, a few call[B]s,
Because it's R. S[A]. V. P.
[A] No thanks, no party lights.
It's Chri[D]stmas Eve, gonna relax,
[C] Turned down all of [B]my invites.
Last fal[A]l I had a night to myself,
[A] Same guy called, Halloween party,
[D] Waited all night for him to show,
[C] This time his car [B]wouldn't go.
For [A]get it, it's cold, it's getting late,
[A] Trudge on home to celebrate
In a qui[D]et way, unwind
[E] Doing Christmas [A]right this time.
[A] [A] [E] [A]
[A] [A] [E] [A]
[A] A&P has provided me
With the worl[A]d's smallest turkey
Already [D]in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn![C] Guess what I forgot[B]?
So on wi[A]th the boots, back out in the snow
To the o[A]nly all-night grocery,
When wha[D]t to my wondering eyes should appear
In the l[C]ine is that guy I've been chasing [B]all year!
"I'm spe[A]nding this one alone," he said.
"Need a brea[A]k; this year's been crazy."
I [D]said, "Me too, but why are you?
You mean you [C]forgot cranberr[B]ies too?"
Then sud[A]denly we laughed and laughed
Caught o[A]n to what was happening
That Chr[D]istmas magic's brought this tale
To a ver[E]y happy endi[A]ng!

Merry Chr[A]istmas! Merry Chri[A]stmas!
[E] Couldn't miss this [A]one this year!
Merry Ch[A]ristmas! Merry Chri[A]stmas!
[E] Couldn't miss this one [A]this year!
Merry Ch[A]ristmas! Merry Christma[A]s!
[E] Couldn't miss this one [A]this year!
Merry Ch[A]ristmas! Merry Christma[A]s!
[E] Couldn't miss this one [A]this year!
