"Christmas in July" by Jonathan Coulton and John Roderick
from their album "One Christmas at a Time".
One of my favourite songs~

Intro: F#m B7 | F#m B7 | E   | B7 (pause)

E                                    C#7 
I wish we were having Christmas in July

             F#m        B7             F#m
No winter anymore; warm breezes by the shore

     B7               E              B7
Long days beneath the summery sky


E                                    C#7
Santa doesn't have to hurry to leave town

                         F#m        B7             F#m
There's nothing here but time, gin, tonic and some lime

      B7             E              E7
He'll probably stick around


A                   Am           E            E7
Three ships sailing on the ocean blue

A                Am
All the children fast asleep

F#m              B7
Now there's only me and you


E                                        C#7
Trees all decorate themselves with butterflies

                     F#m        B7             F#m
Our blues are on the run; we're soaking up the sun

     B7          E       B7
Yule time in paradise

(Organ solo; just play the verse chords)

A        Am              E          E7
Ukuleles playing "Silent Night"

A                Am
Fragrant flowers in your hair

     F#m              B7              
Your skin so fair and soft beneath the moonlight


E                                      C#m
Now it's winter and the snow is piling high

                     F#m    B7          F#m
Let's change the holiday, vacation far away

     B7           E        E7
Next Christmas in July

                          F#m        B7              F#m
There's nothing there but time, gin, tonic, and some lime

     B7           E      E7
Next Christmas in July

                     F#m        B7             F#m
Our blues are on the run; we're soaking up the sun

     B7           E
Next Christmas in July
