We Need A Little Christmas chords by Jerry Herman

Chords with lyrics

G+G  D MajorD    G+G
Haul out the holly
  D MajorD   G+G       E minorEm    E7E7
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
A minorAm  D MajorD   A minorAm
Fill up the stocking
 D MajorD   A minorAm   D MajorD     A minorAm     D MajorD     E MajorE  E7E7
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now


    A minorAm      D MajorD
For we need a little Christmas
G+G        E minorEm
Right this very minute
C majorC       D MajorD
Candles in the window
G+G       G7G7
Carols at the spinet

    A minorAm      D MajorD
Yes, we need a little Christmas
G+G        E minorEm
Right this very minute
  A augmentedA        A7A7
It hasn't snowed a single flurry
  D MajorD         D7D7
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry


  G+G   D MajorD    G+G
So climb down the chimney
  D MajorD   G+G         E minorEm      E7E7
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen
A minorAm  D MajorD   A minorAm
Slice up the fruitcake
   D MajorD    A minorAm    D MajorD   A minorAm    D MajorD    E MajorE    E7E7
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough


     A minorAm       D MajorD
For I've grown a little leaner,
G+G       E minorEm
grown a little colder,
C majorC       D MajorD
Grown a little sadder,
G+G       E minorEm
grown a little older


   A minorAm      D MajorD
And I need a little angel
G+G       E minorEm
sitting on my shoulder.
A minorAm       C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
I need a little Christmas now.

G+G  D MajorD    G+G
Haul out the holly
   D MajorD   G+G        E minorEm      E7E7
Well, once I taught you all to live each living day.
A minorAm  D MajorD   A minorAm    D MajorD
Fill up the stocking
      A minorAm     D MajorD    A minorAm      D MajorD    E MajorE  E7E7
But Auntie Mame, it's one week past Thanksgiving Day now


    A minorAm      D MajorD
But we need a little Christmas
G+G        E minorEm
Right this very minute
C majorC       D MajorD
Candles in the window
G+G       G7G7
Carols at the spinet


    A minorAm      D MajorD
And we need a little Christmas
G+G        E minorEm
Right this very minute
  A augmentedA        A7A7
It hasn't snowed a single flurry
  D MajorD         D7D7
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry


  G+G   D MajorD    G+G
So climb down the chimney
   D MajorD   G+G        E minorEm        E7E7
It's been a long time since I felt good, neighborly
A minorAm  D MajorD   A minorAm
Slice up the fruitcake
   D MajorD    A minorAm    D MajorD   A minorAm     D MajorD   E MajorE   E7E7
It's time we hung some tinsel on that mayberry bough


    A minorAm      D MajorD
For we need a little music
G+G       E minorEm
Need a little laughter
C majorC       D MajorD
Need a little singing
G+G          G7G7
Ringing through the rafter


    A minorAm      D MajorD
And we need a little snappy
G+G     E minorEm
Happy ever after
  A minorAm      C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
We need a little Christmas now
