-- = single strum

G   Em                          G  
    If you dream of horse drawn carriages
C         D           G  
  Dashing through the snow
Em                   G  
  Before you move to Texas
        A7                   D7  
There?s something you should know

          C                               G
That they don?t have White Christmases in Houston
     C                  D7                G
I?ve lived here most my life and I should know
     C                           G
I?ve prayed and I?ve pleaded for way too many years
         C                     D7               G
But they just don?t have White Christmases down here

     G               C            G
I?ve heard of winter carnivals in Aspen
   G                 C            G
It looks just like a winter wonderland
      A7                                  D7
But remember while you?re freezin? throughout this Christmas season
      A7                                    D7
We?ll be down here with Christmas cheer and flip-flops in the sand

          C                               G
That they don?t have White Christmases in Houston
     C                  D7                G
I?ve lived here most my life and I should know
     C                           G
I?ve prayed and I?ve pleaded for way too many years
         C                     D7               G
But they just don?t have White Christmases down here


[Repeat chorus chords: C   G   C D7 G   C   G   C D7 G]

G                   C                  G
I?ve seen all those Christmas shows on TV
G                 C              G
Blankets of white powder, my how grand
          A7                             D7              
But while you?ve got snow and holly, I?m feasting on tamales
A7                               D7
Sitting on my back porch with an iced tea in my hand

           C                               G
Cause they don?t have White Christmases in Houston
     C                  D7                G
I?ve lived here most my life and I should know
     C                           G
I?ve prayed and I?ve pleaded for way too many years
         C                     D7               G
But they just don?t have White Christmases down here

     C                           G
I?ve prayed and I?ve pleaded for way too many years
         C                     D7               G
But they just don?t have White Christmases down here
