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