As recorded by Chris Isaak (From the 2022 Album EVERYBODY KNOWS IT'S CHRISTMAS) [Intro] B E [Verse 1]
E
Christmas comes but once a year

                         B
But you're not here with me

B
The holidays bring heartaches now

            E
Painful memories

E
You and I were so in love

                  A
But so it seem to me

                    E
Christmas comes but once a year

    B                   E
And that's too much for me
[Chorus]
A                      E
Last christmas eve you left me

A                            E
With just two words you were free

E
So long, so long

A                          E
Sent back that ring that I bought you

F#                       B
That was your present to me
[Verse 2]
  E
I didn't send out christmas cards

                B
Or decorate the tree

B
Nothing seems to matter

                           E
Since you're not here with me

E
I spend my holiday at home

                         A
With thoughts of used to be

                    E
Christmas comes but once a year

    B                   E
And that's too much for me
[Guitar Solo] A E B E [Chorus]
A                      E
Last christmas eve you left me

A                            E
With just two words you were free

E
So long, so long

A                          E
Sent back that ring that I bought you

F#                       B
That was your present to me
[Verse 3]
E
There's no wreath on my front door

                 B
No garland on my tree

B
But it could still be christmas dear

                    E
If you come back to me

E
I kept your ring, I kept our vows

                    A
I'm waiting here to see

                    E
Christmas comes but once a year

     B                E
When you come back to me

                             E
Darling, christmas comes but once a year

     B                E
When you come back to me
[Outro] E A E B E
