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