Haul out the holly
D G Em E7
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
Am D Am
Fill up the stocking
D Am D Am D B7 E7
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now
Am D
For we need a little Christmas
G Em
Right this very minute
C D
Candles in the window
G G7
Carols at the spinet
Am D
Yes, we need a little Christmas
G Em
Right this very minute
A A7
It hasn't snowed a single flurry
D D7
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry
G D G
So climb down the chimney
D G Em E7
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen
Am D Am
Slice up the fruitcake
D Am D Am D B7 E7
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough
Am D
For I've grown a little leaner,
G Em
grown a little colder,
C D
Grown a little sadder,
G G7
grown a little older
Am D
And I need a little angel
G Em
sitting on my shoulder.
Am C D G
I need a little Christmas now.
G D G
Haul out the holly
D G Em E7
Well, once I taught you all to live each living day.

Ringing through the rafter

Happy ever after
