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