    Dmaj7            Em7
The jingle bells are jingling
      Dmaj7                  A7
The streets are white with snow
    Dmaj7  Em7       F#m7 G
The happy crowds are mingling
            D7
But there's no one that I know
     G9
I'm sure that you'll forgive me
D7    C7       B7
If I don't enthuse
   E7                   A7      F#7 B7 E7 A7
I guess I've got the Christmas blues

I've done my window shopping
There's not a store I've missed
But what's the use of stopping
When there's no one on your list
You'll know the way I'm feeling
When you love and you lose
   E7                   A7       D7
I guess I've got the Christmas blues

F#m7           B9
When somebody wants you
F#m7      B9
Somebody needs you
  Em7           C      Em6
Christmas is a joy of joy
     G#m7                C#9
But friends when you're lonely
 G#m7                 C#9
You'll find that it's only
   F#m7             B9
A thing for little girls
Em7         A7
and little boys

May all your days be merry
Your seasons full of cheer
But 'til it's January
I'll just go and disappear
Oh Santa may have brought you
some stars for your shoes
But Santa only brought me the blues
Those brightly packaged tinsel covered
Christmas blues

Oh Santa may have brought you
some stars for your shoes
But Santa only brought me the blues
Those brightly packaged tinsel covered
Christmas blues
