Intro
Bm D A
[Verse 1]
Bm D A
It’s Christmas eve once again
Bm
lights are all glowing and yet
D A
everything’s different
[Verse 2]
Bm D A
Still the fire’s cracklin
Bm
outside it’s snowing and
D A
I’m well into the gin
[Chorus]
G D
I forgot to ask for anything
A G
and I’m not sure what tomorrow will bring
D A
but still I’ll dream ‘til Christmas day
G F#
that you’re coming home
Bm D A
[Verse 3]
D A
Such a beautiful tree
Bm
sparkling like icicles
D A
and I wish you could see
[Verse 4]
D A
Put your star at the peak
Bm
hung up your stocking and
D A
poured some whiskey for me
[Chorus]
G D
I forgot to ask for anything
A G
and I’m not sure what tomorrow will bring
D A
but still I’ll dream ‘til Christmas day
G F#
that you’re coming home
[Outro]
Bm
Frost on the windows and lights that are twinkling
flannel pajamas and afternoon drinking
A
snow in the branches and Crosby is crooning
splash of the Baileys for coffee that’s brewing
G
peppermint candies and sleigh bells that jingle
cognac for breakfast and fresh almond kringle
A
bright glossy paper and ribbons of satin
Bm
wreaths wrapped in velvet, a double Manhattan for me
