It’s be (Ab)gin ning to look a (Db)lot like (Ab)Christ mas,

(F7)Take a (Bbm7)look in the five and (Eb7)ten, glis ten ing once a (Ab6)gain, (B)with (Eb)can dy (Edim7)canes and (Bb7)sil ver lanes a (Bbm7)glow.

It’s be (Ab)gin ning to look a (Db)lot like (Ab)Christ mas,

toys in (C7)ev ’ry (Db)store.

(F7)But the (Bbm7)pret ti est sight to (Bdim)see is the (Ab)hol ly (Ab)that will (F7)be on your (Bbm)own (Eb7)front (Ab)door.

A pair of (C7)hop a long boots and a pis tol that shoots is the (Fm)wish of (C7)Bar ney and (Fm)Ben.

(Bb7)Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk is the (Eb)hope of (Bb7)Jan ice and (Eb)Jen.

And (Eb7)Mom and Dad can hard ly wait for school to (Adim7)start a (Eb7)gain.

It’s be (Ab)heart.
