1.                         Try to imagine a house that's not a home,
     C                  F            G
    try to imagine a Christmas all alone.
                  C                  Am          F                     G
    That's where I'll be, since you left me my tears could melt the snow.
             C        Am                    F                     G
    What can I do without you ?  I've got no place, no place to go.

          C             Am           F           G
It'll be lonely this Christmas, without you to hold,
          C             Am        F          G
it'll be lonely this Christmas, lonely and cold.
          C        Am        F           G            C          F  C  G
It'll be cold, so cold, without you to hold, this Christmas.

2. Each time I remember the day you went away,
C                                   F                 G
    and how I would listen to the things you have to say.
             C               Am                   F             G
    I just break down, as I look around and the only things I see,
         C             Am                 F                G
    are emptiness and loneliness, and an unlit Christmas tree. + REFR.

        C                                         F                G
2. (spoken:) You remember last year, when you and I were together.
C                                          F                          G
   We never thought there'd be an end, and I remember looking at you then.
                  C                      Am
 And I remember thinking that Christmas must have been made for us,
F                    G                                    C            Am                     
    'cos darlin',  this is the time that you really, you really need love.
                      F          G               C             A
    When it means so very, very much.  It'll be lonely this Christmas
        F           G              C            Am        F          G
    Without you to hold, it'll be lonely this Christmas, lonely and cold.
                    C
+ REFRAIN +  Merry Christmas, darling, wherever you are!  (Mud)
