Verse 1:
ABah, humbug! No, that's too strong
Cause it is my favorite holiday
    DBut all this year's been a busy blur
      GDon't think I have the energy
   ATo add to my already mad rush
Just cause it's this the season
    DThe perfect gift for me would be
   GCompletions and connections left from
ALast year ski shop
Encounter most interesting
DHad his number but never the time
GMost of 81 passed along those lines
   ASo deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
DI just need to catch my breath
Bm                       A---Christmas by myself this year


Verse 2:
ACalendar picture, frozen landscape
Chilled this room for twenty-four days
DEvergreens, sparkling snow
GGet this winter over with
             AFlashback to springtime, saw him again,
Would've been good to go for lunch
DCouldn't agree when we were both free
   GWe tried, we said we'd keep in touch
ADidn't, of course, til summertime
Out to the beach to his boat 
could I join him?
DNo, this time it was me
GSunburn in the third degree
ANow the calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
  DTonight's the night
but I've set my mind
       Bm                A--Not to do too much about it

AMerry 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

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


Verse 3:
AHardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
DLast minute have-to-do's
      GA few cards a few calls
           ACause it's r-s-v-p
No thanks, no party lights
     DIt's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
GTurned down all of my invites
ALast fall I had a night to myself
Same guy called, halloween party
DWaited all night for him to show
GThis time his car wouldn't go
   AForget it it's cold it's getting late
Trudge on home to celebrate
     DIn a quiet way, unwind
Bm                         A--Doing Christmas right this time


Verse 4:
AA&P has its provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
  DAlready in the oven, nice and hot
   GOh damn! Guess what I forgot?
   ASo on with the boots
back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery
     DWhen what to my wondering 
eyes should appear
       GIn the line is that guy 
I've been chasing all year
      S
"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
"Need a break; this year's been crazy."
  DI said, "Me too, but why are you?
         GYou mean you forgot cranberries too?"
     AThen suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
     DThat Christmas magic's brought this tale
     Bm           A--To a very happy ending
