Strum Two Verses

        A         "Bah, humbug!"  No, that's too strong
             A'Cause it is my favorite holiday
   DBut all this year's been a busy blur
          C                BDon't think I have the energy

   ATo add to my already mad rush
        AJust 'cause it 'tis the season.
        DThe perfect gift for me would be
        C                   BCom     pletions and connections left from

        A         Last year, ski shop,
   AEncounter, most interesting.
        D         Had his number but never the time
        C                     B         Most of '81 passed along those lines.

   ASo deck those halls, trim those trees
        A         Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
        D         I just need to catch my breath,
        E                  A         Christmas by my self this year.

        A         Calendar picture, frozen landscape,
        A         Chilled this room for twenty-four days,
        D         Evergreens, sparkling snow
        C                          B         Get this winter over with!      

                AFlashback to springtime, saw him again,
        A         Would've been good to go for lunch,
        D         Couldn't agree when we were both free.
        C                  BWe tried, we said we'd keep in touch.

        A         Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,
        A         Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
        D         No, this time it was me,
        C                   B         Sunburn in the third degree.

        A         Now the calendar's just one page
            AAnd, of course, I am excited.
  DTonight's the night, I've set my mind
        E                   ANot to do too much about it.

        A         Hardly dashing through the snow
        A         'Cause I bundled up too tight.
        D         Last minute, had to do
        C              BA few cards, a few calls,

                 ABecause it's R. S. V. P.
        A         No thanks, no party lights.
         DIt's Christmas Eve, gonna relax,
        C                   B         Turned down all of my invites.

        ALast fall I had a night to myself,
        A         Same guy called, Halloween party,
        D         Waited all night for him to show,
        C                  B         This time his car wouldn't go.

        AFor     get it, it's cold, it's getting late,
        A         Trudge on home to celebrate
        DIn a quiet way, unwind
        E                A         Doing Christmas right this time.

        A         A&P has provided me
             AWith the world's smallest turkey
        DAlready in the oven, nice and hot
        C                   BOh damn! Guess what I forgot?

        ASo on with the boots, back out in the snow
        ATo the only all-night grocery,
        DWhen what to my wondering eyes should appear
        C                                 BIn the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!

        A"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
            A"Need a break; this year's been crazy."
  DI said, "Me too, but why are you?
             C              BYou mean you forgot cranberries too?"

        AThen suddenly we laughed and laughed
        ACaught on to what was happening
        DThat Christmas magic's brought this tale
        E           ATo a very happy ending!
