I’ll have a (F)blue

Christ mas with (C7)out you.

I’ll be so (Gm)blue

think ing (C7)a (F)bout you.

Dec o (Cm)ra tions of (D7)red on a (Gm)green Christ mas tree

(G7)won’t mean a thing

I’ll have a (F)blue

Christ mas, that’s (C7)cer tain,

and when that blue

heart ache starts (F)hurt in’,

you’ll be (Cm)do in’ all (D7)right with your (Gm)Christ mas of (Abdim7)white,

but (C7)I’ll have a (Gm)blue, (C7)blue (F)Christ mas.
