Christmas Blues
Words & Music by Sammy Cahn & David Holt
Recorded by Dean Martin, 1953

D Dsus4 D Em F#m G6
The jingle bells are jinglin', the streets are white with snow,
D Dsus4 D Em D7 D6 Am Am7 D9
The happy crowds are minglin' but there's no one that I know;
G7 Edim G7 G D F#7 B7
I'm sure that you'll forgive me if I don't enthuse --
G Em7 Edim A7 F#7 B7 G/B A7
I guess I've got the Christ - mas blues.

D Dsus4 D Em F#m G6
I've done my win - dow shopping, there's not a store I've missed;
D Dsus4 D Em D7 D6 Am Am7 D9
But what's the use in stopping when there's no one on your list?
G7 Edim G7 G D F#7 B7
You'll know the way I'm feeling when you love and you lose --
G Em7 Edim A7 D Bm7
I guess I've got the Christ - mas blues.

F#7 B7 F#7 B7
When somebody wants you, somebody needs you,
Em Am7 Em
Christmas is the joy of joys;
C#7 F#m C#7 F#m
But friends, when you're lonely, you find that it's only
F#m7 B7 E7 A7
A thing for little girls and little boys.

D Dsus4 D Em F#m G6
May all your days be merry, your seasons full of cheer,
D Dsus4 D Em D7 D6 Am Am7 D9
But 'til it's Jan - u - ar - y, I'll just go and dis - ap - pear;
G7 Edim G7 G D F#7 B7
Ol' Santa may have brought you some stars for your shoes --
G G/F# E7 Bm7-5 F#7
But Santa only brought me the blues;
E7/9 E7 Cdim Bm7-5 G/B A7 D
Those brightly - packaged, tinsel - covered Christ - mas blues.
