VERSE 1
E E9 B7 B72 B7 B72 E E9
Christmas, Christmas time is near, Time for toys and time for cheer,
A B7 FM7 B7 FM7 B7 E E9
We've been good but we can't last, Hurry Christmas hurry fast
E E9 B7 B72 Ev7 E7 Amaj7 Amaj79
Want a plane that loops the loop, Me I want a hula hoop,
A Am E E7 A B7 E
We can hardly stand the wait Please Christmas don't be late.

During the instrumental break for the talking, they just play the verse
progression over again, when they come back in there is a key change, so you will
play pretty much the same exact chords as the "want a plane..." up 2 frets as barred chords.
Thanks guys that's pretty much it, feel free to post any questions!

I should have a youtube video that shows how i play it up shortly!
