Capo 3
===
[C] Haul out the holly;
Put up the tree before my [Gm] spirit [A7] falls again.
[Dm] Fill up the [G7] stocking,
I may be [Dm] rushing things, but [G7] deck the halls again [A7] now.
For we [Dm] need a little [G7] Christmas [C] Right this very minute,
[Dm] Candles in the window, [G7] Carols at the [C] spinet.
Yes, we [Dm] need a little [G7] Christmas [C] Right this very minute.
It [D7] hasn't snowed a single flurry But [G7] Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
So [C] climb down the chimney;
Put up the brightest string of [Gm] lights I've [A7] ever seen.
[Dm] Slice up the [G7] fruitcake;
It's time we [Dm] hung some tinsel on that [G7] evergreen [A7] bough.
For I've [Dm] grown a [G7] little leaner, [C] Grown a little colder,
[Dm] Grown a little [G7] sadder, [C] Grown a little older,
And I [Dm] need a [G7] little angel [C] Sitting on my shoulder,
[Dm] Need a [G7] little Christmas [C] now.
[D] Haul out the holly;
Well, once I taught you [Am] all to [B7] live each living day.
[Em] Fill up the stocking,
But Auntie [Em] Man, it's one week from [A7] Thanksgiving Day [B7] now.
For we [Em] need a little [A7] Christmas [D] Right this very minute,
[Em] Candles in the window, [A7] Carols at the [D] spinet.
Yes, we [Em] need a little [A7] Christmas [D] Right this very minute.
It [E7] hasn't snowed a single flurry But [A7] Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
So [D] climb down the chimney;
Put up the brightest string of [Am] lights I've [B7] ever seen.
[Em] Slice up the [A7] fruitcake;
It's time we [Em] hung some tinsel on that [A7] evergreen [B7] bough.
For we [Dm] need a little [G] music, [C] Need a little laughter,
[Dm] Need a little [G] singing [C] Ringing through the rafter,
And we [Dm] need a little [G] snappy [C] "Happy ever after, "
[Dm] Need a little [G] Christmas [C] now.
