              Intro verse: 
 
 Em        A7       F#m       Bm 
Greeting cards have all been sent,  
 
      G        A         D    F#7 
The Christmas rush is through; 
 
   Bm       F#7           Bm7     Bm7/5- 
But I still have one more wish to make, 
 
  E7/9    E7     G/B A7/5+ 
A spec - ial one for you. 
 
 
Dalt   DM7  D6    Em7     A7  D9   F#m7           Em7 A7 
Merry Christmas, Darling;    we're apart, that's true, 
 
    G     Edim      F#m A7    D      
But I can dream and in  my dreams,  
 
B7    G      F#m   Em7 Cdim A7 
I'm Christ - mas - ing with you.  
 
Dalt       DM7  D6  Em7   A7         D9     F#m7      Em7 A7 
Hol - i - days are joyful    there's always something new 
 
    G    Edim     F#m       Bm7 E7      E7sus4    
But every day's a hol - i - day when I'm near to you. 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
      G           A7    F#m           Bm 
The lights on my tree I wish you could see  
 
   G      A      D  
I wish it every day  
 
    Bm          D+   Bm7             B7 
The logs on the fire fill me with desire  
 
   G   G/F# Em7 G/B A 
To see you  and to say  
 
       Dalt       DM7  D6  Em7       A7   D9   F#m7      D7   D7/5+ 
That I wish you a mer - ry Christmas,    Happy New Year, too; 
 
      G        A7           F#m         Bm 
I've just one wish on this Christmas Eve  
 
   G      A7   F#m  B7       Em     A7  A7/5+  D 
I wish I were with you -- I wish I were with you.
