We Need A Little Christmas

Jerry Herman 1966 (from the musical “Mame”)

or

INTRO: / 1 2 3 4 / [C] / [C] /

[C] Haul out the [C6] holly

Put up the [C] tree be-[C6]fore my [Gm] spirit [A7] falls again
[Dm] Fill up the [Dm7] stocking [G7]
I may be [Dm7] rushing things but [G7] deck the halls again [Gm] now [A7]

For we [Dm] need a little [G7] Christmas [C] right this very [C6] minute
[Dm] Candles in the [G7] window [C] carols at the [C7] spinet, yes we
[F] Need a little [G7] Christmas [C] right this very [C6] minute
It [D7] hasn’t snowed a single flurry but [G7] Santa dear we’re in a hurry so

[C] Climb down the [C6] chimney

Put up the [C] brightest [C6] string of [Gm] lights I’ve [A7] ever seen
[Dm] Slice up the [Dm7] fruitcake [G7]
It’s time we [Dm7] hung some tinsel [G7] on that evergreen [Gm] bough [A7]

For I’ve [Dm] grown a little [G7] leaner [C] grown a little [C6] colder
[Dm] Grown a little [G7] sadder [C] grown a little [C7] older and I
[F] Need a little [G7] angel [C] sitting on my [C6] shoulder
[Dm] Need a little [G7] Christmas [C] now [C7] for we

[Dm] Need a little [G7] music [C] need a little [C6] laughter
[Dm] Need a little [G7] singing [C] ringing through the [C7] rafter, and we
[F] Need a little [G7] snappy [C] “happy ever [C6] after”
[Dm] Need a little [G7] Christmas [C] now [C] [G7] [C]
