[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

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

I need you baby
Kiss and hold me tight
