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