D F#7
Lost my favorite reindeer in a hurricane
Bm Am G G#dim
Got so get-away on a count of rain
D F#7 Bm7
Countin' my troubles by threes and by twos
E7 A7 Eb7
Even Santa Claus gets the blues
D F#7
Well, I wasn't given for just one silent night
Bm Am G G#dim
Just me and mama close by the warm fire light, yeah
D F#7 Bm7
But Christmas time is comin', there's just so much to do
E7 A7 D D7
Even Santa Claus gets the blues
[Chorus]
G D
But I know every single chimney like the back of my hand
G D
People leave me milk and cookies, I just think that?fs grand
G F#7 Bm7 E7
As the story goes, I'm a dearly loved man
A G F#7 E7 Eb7
But the reason for the season, some folks just don't under- stand
D F#7
So, it's back to the work shop to make more toys
Bm Am G G#dim
Can't wait to give 'em to all the girls and boys
D F#7 Bm7
I'm hookin' up my sleigh, go a- head and spread the noose
E7 A7 D
But sometimes, even Santa Claus gets the blues
[Chorus]
G D
He goes every single chimney like the back of his hand
G D
People leave him milk and cookies, and he think that's grand
G F#7 Bm7 E7
As the story goes, he's a dear and loved man
A G F#7 E7 Eb7
The reason for the season, some folks just don't under- stand
D F#7
So, it's back to the work shop, gotta make some more toys
Bm Am G G#dim
Can't wait to give 'em to all my girls and boys
D F#7 Bm7
I'm hookin' up my sleigh, go a- head and spread the noose
E7 G G# A7
But sometimes, some- times even Santa Claus gets the blues
