intro:      [ A5 E5 F#5 C#5 ]      (single notes on piano)


verse 1:
                     A5     A5              A5
      Bells will be ringing     the sad, sad news
                  D5                   B5
      Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
                 A5   D5             A5    A5  F#5
      My baby's gone   I have no friends
                  B5              E5   E+
      To wish me greetings once again

verse 2:

      Crowds will be singing "Silent Night"

      Christmas carols by candlelight

      Please come home for Christmas, please come home for Christmas
                  B5       E5                A5     A5
      If not for Christmas,   by New Year's night

bridge:
                     D5               D5
      Friends and relations send salutations
      A5            E+           A5    A5
      Sure as the stars shine above
                     D5                      D5
      But this is Christmas, yes, Christmas my dear
                  B5                           E5    E+
      The time of year to be with the one you love

verse 3:

      So won't you tell me you'll never more roam

      Christmas and New Year's will find you home
                            A5    C#5               F#5 F#5 D5 D#5
      There'll be no more sorrow,    no grief and pain
                   A5    F#5      B5     E5    A5
      And I'll be happy,    [1: happy] once again
