[Verse 1]
[A]Bah Humbug,
now [D]that's too strong!
[A]'Cause it is my fa [D]vorite hol[A]iday
But all this [D]year's been a busy blur
Don't [G]think I [D]have the energy
[A]To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's [D]'tis the season
[A]The per[D]fect gift for me would be
Completions and connections
[F#m]left from l[A]ast year
Ski shop [D]encounter most interest[A]ing
[D]Had his number but never the time
Most of '81 passed [Em]along those [D]lines
[A]So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of [D]Christmas [A]cheer
[D]I just need to catch my breath
[Bm]Christmas by my[A]self this year

[Interlude 1]
[A]

[Verse 2]
[A]Calendar picture, frozen landscape
Chill this room for twenty-
four days
[D]Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!
Flash [A]back to spring time [D]saw [A]him again
Would have been [D]good
to go for [A]lunch
Couldn't agree when
we were [D]both free
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
[A]Didn't of course 'till [D]summer[A]time
Out to the beach to his boat,
could I join him?
[D]No This time it was me
Sun[G]burn [C]in the [Em]third degree
[A]Now the calendar's just one page
Of course I [D]am excited
Tonight's the night I've set my mind
Not to do [Bm]too much [A]about it

[Verse 3]
Merry [A]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

[Verse 4]
But I think I'll miss this one this year
[A]Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight
[D]Last minute have- to- dos
A few [C]cards, a few [Em]calls,
be[A]cause it's RSVP
No, thank[D]s, no party [A]lights
It's Christmas [D]Eve, gonna relax
[C]Turn down [G]all [D]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
This time his car [Em]wouldn't [A]go
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a [D]quiet way unwind
Doing Christmas right [A]this time

[Verse 5]
A&P has provided me [A]With the
world's smallest [D]turkey
[A]Alr[D]eady in the oven, nice and hot
[G]Oh damn! [C]Guess what I [D]forgot
[F#m]So on [A]with the boots back
out in the snow
To the only all night [D]grocery
When [A]what to my [D]wondering
eyes should appear
In the line is that [Em]guy I've been chas
[D]ing all [A]year
'Spending this one alone,' he said
'Need a break, this year's [D]been [A]crazy'
I said 'Me [D]too, but why are you
You mean you forgot cranberries [F#m]too?'
Then [A]suddenly we laughed
and laughed
Caught on to what was [D]happening
[A]That Christmas ma [D]gic's
brought this tale
To a [Bm]very happy [A]ending

[Verse 6]
[A]
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas,
merry [F#m]Christmas[A]
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas,
[D]mer[A]ry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
