Intro
Am C G
[Verse 1]
Am C G
It’s Christmas eve once again
Am
lights are all glowing and yet
C G
everything’s different
[Verse 2]
Am C G
Still the fire’s cracklin
Am
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 E
that you’re coming home
Am C G
[Verse 3]
C G
Such a beautiful tree
Am
sparkling like icicles
C G
and I wish you could see
[Verse 4]
C G
Put your star at the peak
Am
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 E
that you’re coming home
[Outro]
Am
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
Am
wreaths wrapped in velvet, a double Manhattan for me
