C F ?You shouldn?t be here, what?s your tale? G C I ought to throw you to the whale.? Am Dm G He just smiled and said, ?Come here, let?s dance.? CHORUS: C F C He said, ?Borrow or steal, I?ll find a way F C Dm G To be with my lover upon Christmas Day C F C And I?ll run, and I?ll roam, I?ll cover the ground F C Am G C Next Christmas I?ll see you, I?ll be around.? C / F / G / C / C / F / G / C / He told me ?bout his girl back home Waiting patient, all alone While we danced I shed a little tear. He closed his eyes, all out at sea I think he danced with her, not me I?ll just have to wait another year. He said, ?Borrow or steal, I?ll find a way To be with my lover upon Christmas Day And I?ll run, and I?ll roam, I?ll cover the ground Next Christmas I?ll see you, I?ll be around. G / D / A / D / D G I think of him now and again A D I wonder how his journey ends Bm Em A As I sail by on my lonesome sea.

CHORUS: D G D Beg, borrow or steal, I?ll find a way G D Em A To be with my lover upon Christmas Day D G D And I?ll run, and I?ll roam, I?ll cover the ground G D A D Next Christmas I?ll see you, I?ll be around. Beg, borrow or steal, I?ll find a way To be with my lover upon Christmas Day And I?ll run, and I?ll roam, I?ll cover the ground Next Christmas I?ll see you, I?ll be around.
