verse 1:
	               A     Amaj7              A7
	Bells will be ringing     the sad, sad news
	            D                   B7/Eb
	Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
	           A   D             A    A/G#  F#m
	My baby's gone   I have no friends

	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

	If not for Christmas,   by New Year's night

bridge:

	               D               Dm
	Friends and relations send salutations
	A            E+           A    A7
	Sure as the stars shine above
	               D                      Dm
	But this is Christmas, yes, Christmas my dear
	            B7                           E    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
	                      A    C#7               F#m F#m/E D Ebdim
	There'll be no more sorrow,    no grief and pain
	             A    F#m      B7     E7    A
	And I'll be happy,    [1: happy] once again
