C5 F5 ?You shouldn?t be here, what?s your tale? G5 C5 I ought to throw you to the whale.? A5 D5 G5 He just smiled and said, ?Come here, let?s dance.? CHORUS: C5 F5 C5 He said, ?Borrow or steal, I?ll find a way F5 C5 D5 G5 To be with my lover upon Christmas Day C5 F5 C5 And I?ll run, and I?ll roam , I?ll cover the ground F5 C5 A5 G5 C5 Next Christmas I?ll see you, I?ll be around.? C5 / F5 / G5 / C5 / C5 / F5 / G5 / C5 / 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. G5 / D5 / A5 / D5 / D5 G5 I think of him now and again A5 D5 I wonder how his journey ends B5 E5 A5 As I sail by on my lonesome sea. D5 G5 That stranger with the haunting face A5 D5 Here, then gone without a trace. B5 E5 A5 Lying with his love, that?s where he?ll be. CHORUS: D5 G5 D5 Beg, borrow or steal, I?ll find a way G5 D5 E5 A5 To be with my lover upon Christmas Day D5 G5 D5 And I?ll run, and I?ll roam , I?ll cover the ground G5 D5 A5 D5 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.
