F#                               B
Yum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum, bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

[Verse 1]
E
Haul out the holly
                          C#       C#7
Put up the tree before my   spirit falls again
F#m7     B      F#m7     B
    Fill up the stocking
         F#m7    B          G#7                     C#m7
I may be rushing things but    deck the halls again now

[Chorus A]
       F#m7          B          E               C#m7
For we need a little Christmas, right this very minute
A              B       E             E7
Candles in the window, carols at the spinet
        F#m7          B          E               C#m7
Yes, we need a little Christmas, right this very minute
  F#m7          B         E
I need a little Christmas now

[Verse 2]
    G
Oh, haul out the holly
                          E      E7
Put up the tree before my  spirit falls again
Am7     D      Am7      D
   Fill up the stocking
         Am7     D           B7                     E7
I may be rushing things, but   deck the halls again now

[Chorus B]
       Am7           D          G               Em7
For we need a little Christmas, right this very minute
C              D       G             G7
Candles in the window, carols at the spinet
        Am7           D          G               Em7
Yes, we need a little Christmas, right this very minute
   A                                  D
It hasn't snowed a single flurry, but Santa dear we're in a hurry, so

[Verse 3]
G
Climb down the chimney
                               E            E7
Put up the brightest string of  lights I've ever seen
Am7      D      Am7        D
   Slice up the fruit cake
             Am7       D      B7                  E7
It's time we hung some tinsel   on that evergreen bough

[Chorus C]
         Am7            D       G              Em7
For I've grown a little leaner, grown a little colder
C              D       G              G7
Grown a little sadder, grown a little older
      Am7           D    G              Em7
And I need a little angel sitting on my shoulder
  Am7           D         G
I need a little Christmas now

[Verse 4]
    F#
Oh, climb down the chimney
                              D#          D#7
It's been a long time since I   felt good neighborly
G#m7      C#     G#m7       C#
    Slice up the fruit cake
             G#m7      C#     A#7                  D#7
It's time we hung some tinsel    on that evergreen bough

[Chorus D]
       G#m7          C#         F#              D#m7
For we need a little Christmas, right this very minute
B              C#      F#            F#7
Candles in the window, carols at the spinet
        G#m7          C#         F#              D#m7
Yes, we need a little Christmas, right this very minute
   G#m7          C#        F#
We need a little Christmas now
