D# Cm D#
If you dream of horse drawn carriages
G# A# D#
Dashing through the snow
Cm D#
Before you move to Texas
F7 A#7
There’s something you should know
G# D#
That they don’t have White Christmases in Houston
G# A#7 D#
I’ve lived here most my life and I should know
G# D#
I’ve prayed and I’ve pleaded for way too many years
G# A#7 D#
But they just don’t have White Christmases down here
D# G# D#
I’ve heard of winter carnivals in Aspen
D# G# D#
It looks just like a winter wonderland
F7 A#7
But remember while you’re freezin’ throughout this Christmas season
F7 A#7
We’ll be down here with Christmas cheer and flip-flops in the sand
G# D#
That they don’t have White Christmases in Houston
G# A#7 D#
I’ve lived here most my life and I should know
G# D#
I’ve prayed and I’ve pleaded for way too many years
G# A#7 D#
But they just don’t have White Christmases down here
[Repeat chorus chords: G# D# G# A#7 D# G# D# G# A#7 G]
D# G# D#
I’ve seen all those Christmas shows on TV
D# G# D#
Blankets of white powder, my how grand
F7 A#7
But while you’ve got snow and holly, I’m feasting on tamales
F7 A#7
Sitting on my back porch with an iced tea in my hand
G# D#
Cause they don’t have White Christmases in Houston
G# A#7 D#
I’ve lived here most my life and I should know
G# D#
I’ve prayed and I’ve pleaded for way too many years
G# A#7 D#
But they just don’t have White Christmases down here
G# D#
I’ve prayed and I’ve pleaded for way too many years
G# A#7 D#
But they just don’t have White Christmases down here
