CHRISTMAS BLUES

** Learned after hearing it performed by Bill Murray in A Very Murray Christmas.
This is based on the Dean Martin version. You can hear me playing it live here:

      A             Bm7
The jingle bells are jingling
      C#m7                   D6
The streets are white with snow
      A               Bm7
The happy crowds are mingling
            A7         A9
But there's no one that I know
     D6              D9
I'm sure that you'll forgive me
   A         F#7
If I don't enthuse
    Bm7                E7       C#7   F#7   Bm7   E7
I guess I've got the Christmas blues


      A             Bm7
I've done my window shopping
        C#m7                D6
There's not a store I've missed
      A               Bm7
But what's the use of stopping
          A7              A9
When there's no one on your list
        D6                D9
You'll know the way I'm feeling
          A          F#7
When you love and you lose
   Bm7               E7          A
I guess I've got the Christmas blues

      C#7       F#7
When somebody wants you
   C#7      F#7
Somebody needs you
   Bm7           E7    Bm7
Christmas is a joy of joys
     G#7                 C#m
But friends when you're lonely
        G#7            C#m
You'll find that it's only
   C#m7             F#7               Bm7     E7
A thing for little girls and little boys


     A             Bm7
May all your days be merry
     C#m7               D6
Your seasons full of cheer
     A           Bm7
But 'til it's January
        A7         A9
I'll just go and disappear
    D6             D9              A             F#7
Oh Santa may have brought you some stars for your shoes
    Bm7        E7           C#7    F#7
But Santa only brought me the blues
      Bm7                                E7      A
Those brightly packaged tinsel covered Christmas blues
