Verse 1:
A
Bah, humbug! No, that's too strong
Cause it is my favorite holiday
D
But all this year's been a busy blur
G
Don't think I have the energy
A
To add to my already mad rush
Just cause it's this the season
D
The perfect gift for me would be
G
Completions and connections left from
A
Last year ski shop
Encounter most interesting
D
Had his number but never the time
G
Most of 81 passed along those lines
A
So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
D
I just need to catch my breath
Bm A---
Christmas by myself this year

Verse 2:
A
Calendar picture, frozen landscape
Chilled this room for twenty-four days
D
Evergreens, sparkling snow
G
Get this winter over with
A
Flashback to springtime, saw him again,
Would've been good to go for lunch
D
Couldn't agree when we were both free
G
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
A
Didn't, of course, til summertime
Out to the beach to his boat
could I join him?
D
No, this time it was me
G
Sunburn in the third degree
A
Now the calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
D
Tonight's the night
but I've set my mind
Bm A--
Not to do too much about it

A
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year

Verse 3:
A
Hardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
D
Last minute have-to-do's
G
A few cards a few calls
A
Cause it's r-s-v-p
No thanks, no party lights
D
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
G
Turned down all of my invites
A
Last fall I had a night to myself
Same guy called, halloween party
D
Waited all night for him to show
G
This time his car wouldn't go
A
Forget it it's cold it's getting late
Trudge on home to celebrate
D
In a quiet way, unwind
Bm A--
Doing Christmas right this time

Verse 4:
A
A&P has its provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
D
Already in the oven, nice and hot
G
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?
A
So on with the boots
back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery
D
When what to my wondering
eyes should appear
G
In the line is that guy
I've been chasing all year
S
"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
"Need a break; this year's been crazy."
D
I said, "Me too, but why are you?
G
You mean you forgot cranberries too?"
A
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
D
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
Bm A--
To a very happy ending
