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