CHORUS:
         C#                       F#
What a merry Christmas this could be
    G#                         C#
If you would just come back to me
C#                           F#
And say that you'd forgiven me
         G#                       C#
What a merry Christmas this could be


C#                                    F#
It was just last Christmas that we quarreled and you walked out
    G#                             C#
I knew I was wrong but you'd come back I had no doubt
       C#                            F#
Now a year has rolled around it's Christmas once again
     G#                                 C#
And what I'd give if you'd come walking in

Chorus, lead, chorus, ending

ENDING:
        G#                        C#
What a merry Christmas this could be
