We Need A Little Christmas chords by Jerry Herman

G    D       G
Haul out the holly
    D      G             Em        E7
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
Am   D      Am
Fill up the stocking
  D      Am      D          Am          D         E    E7
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now


       Am            D
For we need a little Christmas
G               Em
Right this very minute
C              D
Candles in the window
G             G7
Carols at the spinet

        Am            D
Yes, we need a little Christmas
G               Em
Right this very minute
   A               A7
It hasn't snowed a single flurry
    D                  D7
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry


   G     D        G
So climb down the chimney
    D      G                  Em           E7
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen
Am    D      Am
Slice up the fruitcake
     D       Am        D     Am        D        E       E7
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough


         Am             D
For I've grown a little leaner,
G              Em
grown a little colder,
C              D
Grown a little sadder,
G              Em
grown a little older


      Am            D
And I need a little angel
G             Em
sitting on my shoulder.
Am              C     D   G
I need a little Christmas now.


G    D       G
Haul out the holly
      D      G                Em           E7
Well, once I taught you all to live each living day.
Am   D      Am       D
Fill up the stocking
           Am         D       Am            D        E   E7
But Auntie Mame, it's one week past Thanksgiving Day now


       Am            D
But we need a little Christmas
G               Em
Right this very minute
C              D
Candles in the window
G             G7
Carols at the spinet


       Am            D
And we need a little Christmas
G               Em
Right this very minute
   A               A7
It hasn't snowed a single flurry
    D                  D7
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry


   G     D        G
So climb down the chimney
     D      G                Em               E7
It's been a long time since I felt good, neighborly
Am    D      Am
Slice up the fruitcake
     D       Am        D     Am          D     E     E7
It's time we hung some tinsel on that mayberry bough


       Am            D
For we need a little music
G             Em
Need a little laughter
C             D
Need a little singing
G                   G7
Ringing through the rafter


       Am            D
And we need a little snappy
G          Em
Happy ever after
   Am            C     D   G
We need a little Christmas now
