CAPO 2

 

[Verse 1]

 

              D                A7

I'll have a blue Christmas without you

                                D

I'll be so blue just thinking about you

                D7        G

Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree

 E7                         A7

Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

 

 

[Verse 2]

                 D                    A7

And when those blue snowflakes start falling

                        A7            D

That's when those blue memories start calling

                   D7

You'll be doing alright

             G           E7

With your Christmas of white

    A7

But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue

   D

Christmas
