             D                 A  
I'll have a blue Christmas without you  
            A7                  D           
I'll be so blue just thinking about you  
     Am         D        G                 (walkdown)  
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree  
E                           A                   A7  
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me  
  
                D                     A  
And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'  
                   A7                  D  
That's when those blue memories start callin'  
           Am      D               G            E7  
You'll be doin' alright with your Christmas of white  
     A                                 D  
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas  
  
  
Instrumental: D  A  A7  D  
  
  
           Am7     D               G            E7  
You'll be doin' alright with your Christmas of white  
     A                                 D  
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas  
  
  
  
*Walkdown is optional, G-F#-F-E using bar chords  
  
There is a 3rd verse in some recordings of this song:  
  
I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain  
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'  
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white 
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
