CHRISTMAS BLUES
** Learned after hearing it performed by Bill Murray in A Very Murray Christmas.
This is based on the Dean Martin version. You can hear me playing it live here:

[Verse 1]
The jiAngle bells areBm7 jingling
The stC#m7reets are white with snD6ow
The haAppy crowds are mBm7ingling
But there's A7no one thatA9 I know
I'm sD6ure that you'll D9forgive me
If AI don't enF#7thuse
I guBm7ess I've got the ChE7ristmas bC#7lues F#7 Bm7 E7
[Verse 2]
I've dAone my window Bm7shopping
There's C#m7not a store I've misD6sed
But whAat's the use of Bm7stopping
When thereA7's no one on youA9r list
You'll kD6now the way I'm feD9eling
When you lAove and youF#7 lose
I gBm7uess I've got the E7Christmas blAues
[Chorus]
When sC#7omebody waF#7nts you
SomC#7ebody neeF#7ds you
ChrBm7istmas is a joE7y of jBm7oys
But fG#7riends when you're lC#monely
You'll fG#7ind that it's oC#mnly
A tC#m7hing for little gF#7irls and little boBm7ys E7
[Verse 3]
May aAll your days bBm7e merry
Your C#m7seasons full of cheD6er
But 'Atil it's JanBm7uary
I'll jusA7t go and diA9sappear
Oh SD6anta may have bD9rought you some Astars for yourF#7 shoes
But Bm7Santa only E7brought me thAe blues
