G    D

[Verse 1]
G            Em           C          D
Children are singing just outside my door
G                Em           C              D
  Snowflakes are falling it's Christmas once more
G            G7        C         Am
  Everyone's happy but I feel so blue
G                    Em              C            D7
  It's just not like Christmas since I don't have you

[Chorus]
   C                   G
So don't wish me merry Christmas this year
    D7                  G
For how could that ever be
                  G7           C         Am
Tell me how could Christmas be merry and bright
   G          D7        G   C  G   D
If you're not here with me

[Verse 2]
   G           Em           C          D
We used to add presents and hang mistletoe
G                 Em           C              D
  Then sit by the fireside and turn the light low
G                   G7              C         Am
  But things are so different since you went away
G               Em           C            D7
  And now to me Christmas is just another day

[Chorus]
   C                   G
So don't wish me merry Christmas this year
    D7                  G
For how could that ever be
                  G7           C         Am
Tell me how could Christmas be merry and bright
   G          D7        G   C   G
If you're not here with me
