Mark Erelli - Ain't No Time Of Year To Be Alone
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
C G C G C G
[Verse 1]
C
Saint Nick fell down the chimney right on cue
G
With a big ole' bag of gifts for me and you
F D
I was crying by the Christmas tree with a bottle of Patron
C
This ain't no time of year to be alone
[Verse 2]
He said, 'You look like hell, boy where's your better half?'
G
I said, 'She's gone and I don't think she's coming back'
F D
'Did she have some last minute shopping, that just couldn't be postponed?'
C
This ain't no time of year to be alone
[Chorus]
F
Well, I got just one wish
Am
On my Christmas list
Dm G C
Oh baby, how I wish you were here
F
I want chestnuts roasting, good friends toasting
C
Health and happiness
D7 G
But it won't mean a thing without you here
[Verse 3]
C
He said, 'Christmas without love and tenderness
G
Well, that's just a hollow holiday at best
F D
Son, it takes two to tango underneath that mistletoe
C
This ain't no time of year to be alone'
[Lead Break]
[Chorus]
F
Oh, I got just one wish
Am
On my Christmas list
Dm G C
I'd give anything to have you here with me
F
I want Yule logs, reindeer, eggnog, good cheer
C
Five golden rings
D7 G
Not Kris Kringle's singles therapy
[Verse 4]
C
So me and old Saint Nick kicked back a few
G
And we both agreed, he ain't no substitute for you
F D
And I heard him say, as he pulled his sleigh back out into the cold
C
'This ain't no time of year to be alone'
C
'Ho, ho, this ain't no time of year to be alone'
