INTRODUCTION:  G5   A5    (3x) D5

VERSE 1:

    G5                       A5       G5    A5
The streets are filled with Christmas cheer

   G5               A5    G5    A5
At least it's only once a year

G5       C5       D5                 E5
Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows,

    A5                    D5
And carols ringing in my ear

    G5             A5      G5   A5
I'm bundled up against the cold

G5              A5       G5   A5
Lines wherever gifts are sold

G5         C5          D5                E5
Each shop window displays a Christmas scene

    A5                   D5
For everybody young and old


CHORUS:

G5          A5               E5            C5
Icicles on eavestroughs and tinsel on the tree,

           D5                    G5  A5
But it's a green Christmas for me

G5   A5  G5   A5   D5


VERSE 2:

G5               A5    G5                    A5
Couples skating on the pond [couples skating on the pond]

G5             A5    G5                    A5
Makin' angels on the lawn [makin' angels on the lawn]

G5        C5       D5            E5
Five red mittens drying on the rad

    A5                      D5
And needles shedding tannenbaum


CHORUS:

G5               A5           E5                C5
Red bows on the railings and snowflakes on the ground,

           D5                         G5  A5  
But it's a green Christmas in this town

G5   A5   G5   A5   D5


BRIDGE:

C5             G5             C5
Green, cos of everything I miss

         G5              C5
All this mistletoe, no kiss

          G5               A5
And with every Christmas wish

            E5             A5
There would be no greater gift

         A7  (let ring)
Than to have this envy lift


INSTRUMENTAL:  G5  A5  G5  A5  G5  A5  D5  


VERSE 3:

                 G5            A5   G5       A5
(Fa la la la...) Carolers are at my door (Fa la la la...)

      G5               A5  G5   A5
Don't wanna hear them anymore

CHORUS:

G5                A5
Stockings on the mantle

    D5                E5
The snow's here everyday

           D5                   G5
But it's a green Christmas anyway

G5               C5            D5             E5
Red nose on the reindeer and tinsel on the tree

            D5                  G5   A5  G5  A5  G5  A5 G5
But it's a green Christmas for me
