(D major) My Christmas
Verse 1
(G major) list grows (C major) shorter every (G major) year
(E minor) things (D major) just aren't the way they were be (G major) fore
(D major) My Christmas (G major) list grows (C major) shorter every (G major) year (D major) (G major) it's
al (D major) most not like Christmas any (G major) more (D major) (G major)
I guess it's 'cause I came from
a pretty (C major) big family
Christmas was al (G major) ways a big happy time
We used to swap presents (E minor) (D major) with aunts,
uncles and cousins
Course most of the presents just
(G major) came from the five (D major) and dime
I (G major)

Verse 2
(E minor) (D major) remember how I (G major) used to get such
a big kick out of wrappin'
Just a (C major) simple little box and pla
(G major) cin' it under the tree (D major) (G major)
Everybody (D major) at my house used to laugh
and said that I was born
With a little too much of the spir
(G major) it of Christmas in me (D major) (G major)
(E minor) (G major)
Verse 3
I left home a few years (C major) ago now and it seemed
then (G major) that things started to change
(D major) Mom passed on now daddy's gone,
(G major) Christmas' seem sorta strange (E minor) (D major) (G major)
Sister ran off with some weird (C major) kinda guy
I never did under (G major) stand him too much
My kid brother's (D major) off
somewhere in the service
And he never was the kind
to stay in (G major) touch (E minor) (D major)
Verse 4
(G major) Course I started my own
family a few (C major) years ago
My (G major) wife and I had two
(D major) of the cutest little girls
(G major) I ha ha remember (D major) last
Christmas I really went wild
I bought them just about everything
(G major) in the whole wide world
(D major) And I remember on the (G major) Christmas
Eve night I took 'em upon my lap
(C major) And I told them the story of Je (G major) sus
And the Santa Claus (D major) and the
(G major) eight tiny reindeer (D major)
Verse 5
All I wish now is (D major) the spirit of Christmas (G major) could have
lingered throughout the whole year (D major) (G major)
You see my wife left (C major) me back in September the
(G major) kids are with her (D major) I don't know where (G major) (D major)
I'd love to just send
them a small Christmas card
To let them know (G major) that daddy
does (D major) care (G major) (E minor) (D major)
(G major) 'Cause Christmas is a time for sharing
your gifts (C major) and your heart
With the ones (G major) that you
love the best
Verse 6
But sittin' here to (D major) night
lookin' at this big sheet of paper
I don't even have (G major) one single (D major) (G major) address
(D major) My (G major) Christmas list grows (C major) shorter every (G major) year
oh (D major) what I'd give to just go back in time (G major)
(D major) My Christmas (G major) list grows (C major) shorter every (G major) year (D major) (G major) the
only (D major) name that's left this year is mine (G major)
(C major) (D major) (G major)
My Christmas List Grows Shorter Every Year
