[Verse 1]
---------------------
A
"Bah, humbug!" but that's too strong,
'Cause it is my favorite holiday.
    D
But all this year's been a busy blur
      Dsus4             C#sus4
Don't think I have the energy
   A
To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
    D
The perfect gift for me would be
    Dsus4             C#sus4
Completions and connections left from
A
Last year, ski shop,
Encounter, most interesting.
D
Had his number but never the time
Dsus4               C#sus4
Most of '81 passed along  those lines.
   A
So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
D
I  just need to catch my breath,
                         A
Christmas by myself this year.

[Verse 2]
---------------------
A
Calendar picture, frozen landscape,
Chilled this room for twentyfour days,
D
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Dsus4                      C#sus4
Get  this winter over with!
             A
Flashback to springtime, saw him again,
Would've been good to go for lunch,
D
Couldn't agree when we were both free,
   Dsus4               C#sus4
We tried, we said we'd keep  in touch.
A
Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
D
No, this time it was me,
Dsus4          C#sus4
Sunburn in the third degree.
A
Now the calendar's just one page
Of course, I am excited
  D
Tonight's the night, I've set my mind
                         A
Not to do too much about it.

   Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
                                    A
But I think I'll miss this one this year.

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight
D
Last minute havetodo's
      Dsus4        C#sus4
A few cards, a few calls 
             A
Because it's RSVP
No thanks, no party lights
     D
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Dsus4                C#sus4
Turned down all of my      invites
A
Last fall I had a night to myself
Same guy called, Halloween party
D
Waited all night for him to show
Dsus4             C#sus4
This time his car wouldn't go
   A
Forget it it's cold it's getting late
Trudge on home to celebrate
     D
In a quiet way, unwind
                           A
Doing Christmas right this time

[Verse 4]
---------------------
A
A&P has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
  D
Already in the oven, nice and hot
   Dsus4             C#sus4
Oh damn! Guess what I      forgot
   A
So on with the boots back out in the snow
To the only allnight grocery
     D
When what to my wondering eye should appear
       Dsus4                 C#sus4
In the line is that guy I've been  chasing all year
A
"I'm spending this one alone," he said
"Need a break, this year's been crazy."
  D
I said, "Me too but why are you?
         Dsus4           C#sus4
You mean you  forgot cranberries too?"
     A
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
     D
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
                  A
To a very happy ending
