Verse 1:
 A
Bah, humbug! No, that's too strong

Cause it is my favorite holiday
   D
But all this year's been a busy blur

    G
Don't think I have the energy

  A
To add to my already mad rush

Just cause it's this the season
   D
The perfect gift for me would be

  G
Completions and connections left from

 A
Last year ski shop

Encounter most interesting
 D
Had his number but never the time

 G
Most of 81 passed along those lines

  A
So deck those halls, trim those trees

Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
 D
I just need to catch my breath

Bm            A---
Christmas by myself this year


Verse 2:
 A
Calendar picture, frozen landscape

Chilled this room for twenty-four days
 D
Evergreens, sparkling snow

 G
Get this winter over with

       A
Flashback to springtime, saw him again,

Would've been good to go for lunch
 D
Couldn't agree when we were both free

  G
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch

 A
Didn't, of course, til summertime

Out to the beach to his boat
could I join him?
 D
No, this time it was me

 G
Sunburn in the third degree

 A
Now the calendar's just one page

And, of course, I am excited
  D
Tonight's the night

but I've set my mind
    Bm        A--
Not to do too much about it


Breakdown: D--G--D-G-A x3, D--G--D--G-F#m-Em-D/F#


Chorus:
 A
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year


Verse 3:
 A
Hardly dashing through the snow

Cause I bundled up too tight
 D
Last minute have-to-do's

    G
A few cards a few calls

      A
Cause it's r-s-v-p

No thanks, no party lights
   D
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax

 G
Turned down all of my invites

 A
Last fall I had a night to myself

Same guy called, halloween party
 D
Waited all night for him to show

 G
This time his car wouldn't go

  A
Forget it it's cold it's getting late

Trudge on home to celebrate
   D
In a quiet way, unwind

Bm             A--
Doing Christmas right this time


Verse 4:
 A
A&P has its provided me

With the world's smallest turkey
  D
Already in the oven, nice and hot

  G
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?

  A
So on with the boots

back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery
   D
When what to my wondering

eyes should appear
    G
In the line is that guy

I've been chasing all year
   S
"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
"Need a break; this year's been crazy."
  D
I said, "Me too, but why are you?

     G
You mean you forgot cranberries too?"

   A
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed

Caught on to what was happening
   D
That Christmas magic's brought this tale

   Bm      A--
To a very happy ending
