(It's) Christmas Time, Baby

Intro: | E - - - | F#m - - - | A - - - | B - - - | ("Jingle Bells" melody underneath)

| E - - - | A - - - | E - - - | A - - - |
It's Christmas Time, baby, carolers coming 'round
| E - - - | F#m - - - | A - - - | B - - - |
Wishing I was in your arms Bur you're in some other town
| C#m - - - | A - - - | E - - - | A - - - |
Las Vegas was the flame that lured you moth-like to its glow
| F#m - - - | G#m - - - | A - - - | B - - - |
I'm singing you this song 'cause there is something you must know

| A - - - | B - - - | E - - - | A - - - |
Cho. Please come home for Christmas, I'm begging on my knees
| F#m - - - | G#m - - - | A - - - | B - - - |
How I miss your tender kiss, have mercy on me please
| A - - - | B - - - | E - - - | A - - - |
Joy is all around me but I'm hopelessly blue
| F#m - - - | G#m - - - | A - - - | B - - - | E - - - | F#m - - - | A - - - | B - - - |
All I want for Christmas, baby, is you. Baby, baby it's you…

Through winter streets I wonder. I can't feel the cold.
Memories keep burning like embers in my soul
I fear I'll walk forever this loneliness won't end
'Till you're in my arms again and whisper I'm your man (Cho.)

(Solo over verse)

Bridge (this bridge progression was changed 2/08)
|G# - - - | C# - - - | A - - - | E - - - |
I know money's been tight and my music never pays, but this
| F#m - - - | G#m - - - | A - - - | B - - - |
Salvation Army gig is good through New Year's Day! So… (Cho.)

Coda: | E - - - | F#m - - - | A - B - | E7 | ("Old Ang Syne" melody)
