(F)Haul out the hol ly, put up the tree be (Am)fore my spi rit (D7)falls a gain.

For we (Gm7)need a lit tle (C7)Christ mas, (Fmaj7)right this ver y (F6)min ute, (Gm7)can dles in the (C7)win dow, (F)car ols at the spin et.

Yes, we (Gm7)need a lit tle (C7)Christ mas, (Fmaj7)right this ver y (F6)min ute.

It (G7)has n’t snowed a sin gle flur ry, but (C7)San ta, dear, we’re in a hur ry.

So, (F)climb down the chim ney, turn on the bright est (Am)string of lights I’ve (D7)ev er seen.

Slice (C7)up the (Gm)fruit cake.

It’s time we (Gm7)hung some tin sel on that (Gm)ev er (C7)green (Eb)bough.

(G)Haul out the hol ly.

For once I’ve taught you all to live each liv ing day.

Fill (D7)up the (Am)stock ing.

But, Aun tie (Am7)Mame, it’s one week past Thanks (Am7)giv ing (D7)Day (Dm6)now.
