[1st Verse]
       C7                F7
I hear sleigh bells ring
                                             C7
But I haven’t heard a word from you in years
              F7
I hear sleigh bells ringin’
                                             C7  Db7  C7
But I haven’t heard a word from you in years
G7/D                  G7   F7
I hear choirs singin’
             Adim/G                        C7    F7   C7   G7
And I’m just sittin’ here cryin’ Christmas tears
 
 
[2nd Verse]
C7                                    F7
Everybody’s singin’ “Merry Christmas”
                                             C7     G7/D
As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer
F7
Everybody’s singin’ “Merry Christmas”
                                             C7    G7/D
As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer
            G7             F7
I’m smilin’ on the outside
           Adim/G                      C7     F7    C
But on the inside I’m cryin’ Christmas tears
 
 
[Bridge]
                  F7
Well, you’ve been gone such a long, long time
         C7
But it’s Christmas and I can’t get you off of my mind
                 F7
Yes, you’ve been gone a hundred years or more
       D7
If you come back
                         G7
They could hang a “Merry Christmas” on my door
 
           C7
I need you baby
 
Kiss and hold me tight
F7
I need you darling
            F#dim7
On a lonely Christmas night
         C/G         E7         Am   C7/G        F7
And as I sit and I think of the long, lonely years
F#dim7           C/G   A7  D7   G7sus
I can’t help but cry
          C
Christmas tears
