C (x32010@1)     Cmaj7 (x32000@1)          C6 (03221x@1)   C (x32010@1) Snowy nights and Christmas lights,

F (133211@1)   Em (022000@1)         Dm7   G7 (320001@1) Icy window panes,

C (x32010@1)       Cmaj7 (x32000@1)   C6 (03221x@1)     C (x32010@1)  D7 (xx0212@1) Make me wish that we could be

D7 (xx0212@1)           G7 (320001@1) Together again

          C (x32010@1)   Cmaj7 (x32000@1)C6 (03221x@1)C (x32010@1) And the windy winter avenues

F (133211@1)          Em (022000@1)        Dm7
  Just don't seem the same,

G7 (320001@1)      C (x32010@1)       Cmaj7 (x32000@1)C6 (03221x@1)       C (x32010@1) And the Christmas carols sound like blues,

          F (133211@1)      G7 (320001@1)      C (x32010@1) But the choir is not to blame


CHORUS:

  What we had should never have ended

                    F (133211@1)   Em (022000@1) I'll be dropping by today

F (133211@1)              Em (022000@1)   F (133211@1) Em (022000@1)name="chord_133211@1">F  
 Dm (xx0231@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C  D7 (xx0212@1)'Cause we could easily get it together tonight

G7 (320001@1)           C (x32010@1)         G7 (320001@1) It's only right

C (x32010@1)       Cmaj7 (x32000@1)     C6 (03221x@1)      C (x32010@1) Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus,

F (133211@1)        Em (022000@1)          G7 (320001@1) Tinseled afternoons,

          C (x32010@1)      Cmaj7 (x32000@1)    C6 (03221x@1)         C (x32010@1)    D7 (xx0212@1) And the sidewalk bands that play their songs

                     G7 (320001@1) Slightly out of tune

         C (x32010@1)    Cmaj7 (x32000@1)name="chord_03221x@1">C6  C (x32010@1) On the windy winter avenues

F (133211@1)             Em (022000@1)      Dm7     G7 (320001@1) There walks a lonely man,

      C (x32010@1)  Cmaj7 (x32000@1)  C6 (03221x@1)    C (x32010@1) And if I told you who he is,

         F (133211@1)         G7 (320001@1)     C (x32010@1) Well I think you'd understand
