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