[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E Well, I picked out a tree E And I tied it to the car A There's a wreath up on our door A Eight tiny reindeer in the yard E I drove under the downtown lights E Red an' green and blue A The silver neon snowflakes A Only made me think of you F#m It's Christmas all around me E You're in someone else's land A So I'm sending out my only wish A Hey Santa, tell the man:
[Chorus]
E Bm Hey mister A E Send my baby home Bm This December A E I don't want to be all alone F#m Oh, Christmas in America G#m I need you in my arms D A Far away from harm N.C. E Send my baby home
[Verse 2]
E I hear someone singing "Jingle Bells" E No wait, that's "Deck the Halls" A And the teenagers with candy canes A Ramble through the malls E The girls are down at Ruby's E Trying to find some Christmas cheer A There's not much to do but drink too much A When every day is unclear F#m So here I am on Christmas Eve E This silent holy night A And I reach up to the stars for you A I pray that you're alright
[Chorus]
E Bm Hey mister A E Send my baby home Bm This December A E I don't want to be all alone F#m Oh, Christmas in America G#m I need you in my arms D A Far away from harm E Mister, send my baby home
[Bridge]
F#m What happened to the peace on Earth? G#m All that goodwill toward men? A Oh, come on, all ye faithful A It's time to think again
[Chorus]
E Hey mister A E Send my baby home Bm7 This December A I don't want to be all alone A Oh, come on, come on, come on E Bm7 Hey mister A E Send my baby home Bm7 This December A E I don't want to be all alone
[Outro]
E Send my baby home C#m Send my baby home A Send my baby home E Send my baby home E Come on, send my baby home C#m Send my baby home A Send my baby home E Send my baby home E Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah C#m Yeah, yeah, yeah A E Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah E Oh, come on, come on E Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh C#m Yeah, yeah, yeah A Oh, oh, oh E Oh, oh, oh E Send my baby home C#m Send my baby home A Come on, send my baby home E Send my baby home
