F# D#m F#
If you dream of horse drawn carriages
B C# F#
Dashing through the snow
D#m F#
Before you move to Texas
G#7 C#7
There’s something you should know
B F#
That they don’t have White Christmases in Houston
B C#7 F#
I’ve lived here most my life and I should know
B F#
I’ve prayed and I’ve pleaded for way too many years
B C#7 F#
But they just don’t have White Christmases down here
F# B F#
I’ve heard of winter carnivals in Aspen
F# B F#
It looks just like a winter wonderland
G#7 C#7
But remember while you’re freezin’ throughout this Christmas season
G#7 C#7
We’ll be down here with Christmas cheer and flip-flops in the sand
B F#
That they don’t have White Christmases in Houston
B C#7 F#
I’ve lived here most my life and I should know
B F#
I’ve prayed and I’ve pleaded for way too many years
B C#7 F#
But they just don’t have White Christmases down here
[Repeat chorus chords: B F# B C#7 F# B F# B C#7 G]
F# B F#
I’ve seen all those Christmas shows on TV
F# B F#
Blankets of white powder, my how grand
G#7 C#7
But while you’ve got snow and holly, I’m feasting on tamales
G#7 C#7
Sitting on my back porch with an iced tea in my hand
B F#
Cause they don’t have White Christmases in Houston
B C#7 F#
I’ve lived here most my life and I should know
B F#
I’ve prayed and I’ve pleaded for way too many years
B C#7 F#
But they just don’t have White Christmases down here
B F#
I’ve prayed and I’ve pleaded for way too many years
B C#7 F#
But they just don’t have White Christmases down here
