Verse 1
G/B Cadd9
I've seen snow on Christmas Eve
G/B Cadd9
Gracing frosted evergreens
G/B Cadd9
After most the trees go brown
G/B D/F#
I'm still standing
G/B Cadd9
I've been miles away from home
G/B Cadd9
Trapped in Charles Dicken's poems
G/B Cadd9
I've been freezing in this town
G/B D/F#
But I'm still standing
Chorus
Gsus2 D Cadd9 Em7
It's almost New Year in San Diego
Gsus2 D Cadd9 Em7
Another Christmas Old Borego
Gsus2 D
Face down in a little white shack
Cadd9 Em7
In the back room
Gsus2 D Cadd9
This town is a thirty-five Ford in a bad mood
Em7
In a bad mood
Interlude - Same as Intro
Verse 2 - Same as V.1
I hear you when I'm asleep
Missy, you're the love I keep
But I still got no cash to send in my pocket
It's been months since we first kissed
But your face is what I miss
And I keep your picture bent
In my pocket
Chorus
Outro - Same as Intro
