Verse 
    D7M             Em7 
The jingle bells are jingling 
    D7M                    A7/9+ 
The streets are white with snow 
    D7M   Em7        F#m7 G7 
The happy crowds are mingling 
            D7 
But there's no one that I know 
    G7 
I'm sure that you'll forgive me 
D    C7       B7 
If I don't enthuse 
  E7                 A7        F#7 B7 E7 A7  
I guess I've got the Christmas blues 
Verse 
     D7M            Em7 
I've done my window shopping 
        D7M             A7/9+ 
There's not a store I've missed 
    D7M        Em7    F#m7 G7 
But what's the use of stopping 
             D7 
When there's no one on your list 
       G7 
You'll know the way I'm feeling 
     D        C7      B 
When you love and you lose 
  E7                 A7        D7 
I guess I've got the Christmas blues 
Bridge 
F#m7          B7 
When somebody wants you 
F#m7      B7 
 Somebody needs you 
Em             C/E    Em6 
Christmas is a joy of joy 
    G#m7                C#7 
But friends when you're lonely 
G#m7                  C#7 
You'll find that it's only 
  F#m7             B7   Em7         A7 
A thing for little girls and little boys 
Verse 
    D7M             Em7 
May all your days be merry 
     D7M             A7/9+ 
Your seasons full of cheer 
     D7M      Em7 F#m7 G7 
But 'til it's January 
             D7 
I'll just go and disappear 
   G7 
Oh Santa may have brought you 
     D         C7   B7 
Some stars for your shoes 
    E7         A7                F#7  B7   
But Santa only brought me the blues 
      E7                                A7           D7    G7 F#7   B7 E7 A7
