verse 1:
                    Amaj7               Bells will be ringing     the sad, sad news
                                Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
                               My baby's gone   I have no friends
                            E+
 To wish me greetings once again

verse 2:

 Crowds will be singing "Silent Night"
 Christmas carols by candlelight
 Please come home for Christmas, please come home for Christmas
                                       If not for Christmas,   by New Year's night

bridge:

                               Friends and relations send salutations
            E+               Sure as the stars shine above
                                      But this is Christmas, yes, Christmas my dear
                                          E+
 The time of year to be with the one you love

verse 3:

 So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
 Christmas and New Year's will find you home
                                         There'll be no more sorrow,    no grief and pain
                              And I'll be happy,    [1: happy] once again
                              [2: Christmas]
