       F#
It was cold in the night
     D#m
On a long and dark December
        G#m7                        C#
And I'm drinkin' in the local bar alone
          F#
There's a man singin' out
        D#m
Singin' words I can't remember
G#m7                               C#
Something ‘bout a tale of old New York

G#m7                         C#
Pour another whiskey for the road
       G#m7                           C#
‘Cause that's the only spirit that I know

Chorus:
        F#                D#m
Singin' oh, this must be Christmas
           G#m7
‘Cause I'm sick of the songs that the radio plays
         C#
But I'm drinkin' and singin' along anyways
        F#                 D#m
Singin' oh, this must be Christmas
               G#m7
‘Cause there's only so much that my body can take
         C#
But I'm drinkin' and singin' along anyways

        F#
Singin' oh, oh-oh
 D#m
Ooh, oh-oh
 G#m7
Oooh, oh-oh
  C#
Mmm

Had a fight with some guy
‘Cause he said I kissed his sister
Might have done, I guess we'll never know

So pour another whiskey for the road
‘Cause that's the only spirit that I know

Chorus

Singin' oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
Mmm

So pour another whiskey for the road
‘Cause that's the only spirit that I know
Oh
