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