B
Bah, humbug! No, that's too strong

Cause it is my favorite holiday

    E
But all this year's been a busy blur

      A
Don't think I have the energy

   B
To add to my already mad rush

Just cause it's this the season

    E
The perfect gift for me would be

   A
Completions and connections left from

B
Last year ski shop

Encounter most interesting

E
Had his number but never the time

A
Most of 81 passed along those lines

   B
So deck those halls, trim those trees

Raise up cups of Christmas cheer

E
I just need to catch my breath

C#m                       B---
Christmas by myself this year

Verse 2:

B
Calendar picture, frozen landscape

Chilled this room for twenty-four days

E
Evergreens, sparkling snow

A
Get this winter over with

             B
Flashback to springtime, saw him again,

Would've been good to go for lunch

E
Couldn't agree when we were both free

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

B
Didn't, of course, til summertime

Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?

E
No, this time it was me

A
Sunburn in the third degree

Now the calendar's just one page

And, of course, I am excited

  E
Tonight's the night

but I've set my mind

Not to do too much about it

B
Hardly dashing through the snow

Cause I bundled up too tight

E
Last minute have-to-do's

      A
A few cards a few calls

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

No thanks, no party lights

     E
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax

A
Turned down all of my invites

B
Last fall I had a night to myself

Same guy called, halloween party

E
Waited all night for him to show

A
This time his car wouldn't go

Forget it it's cold it's getting late

Trudge on home to celebrate

In a quiet way, unwind

Doing Christmas right this time

B
A&P has its provided me

With the world's smallest turkey

  E
Already in the oven, nice and hot

   A
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?

   B
So on with the boots

back out in the snow To the only all-night grocery

     E
When what to my wondering

eyes should appear

       A
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."

  E
I said, "Me too, but why are you?

         A
You mean you forgot cranberries too?"

     B
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed

Caught on to what was happening

     E
That Christmas magic's brought this tale

     C#m           B--
To a very happy ending
