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