[Intro]
G C9 D G C9 D
[Primera Parte]
G
Christmas night, another fight
C9 D
Tears we cried a flood
G
Got all kinds of poison in
C9 D
Poison in my blood
G
I took my feet
To Oxford Street
C9 D
Trying to right a wrong
G
Just walk away
Those windows say
C9 D
But I can't believe she's gone
C9
When you're still waiting
For the snow to fall
Doesn't really feel like
D2 G
Christmas at all
( G )
( C9 D )
[Estribillo]
Em7
Up above candles on air flicker
C9 G
Oh they flicker and they float
G
But I'm up here holding on
D4 D
To all those chandeliers of hope
Em7
Like some drunken Elvis singing
C9 G
I go singing out of tune
G
Saying how I always loved you darling
D4 D
And I always will
[Puente]
C9
Oh when you're still waiting
For the snow to fall
Doesn't really feel like

Still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like
D2
Christmas at all
( G G/F# C9 D C9 )

Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
C9 G
Down where the sea and city meet

May all your troubles soon be gone
G G4 G
Oh Christmas lights keep shining on

Those Christmas lights
C9 G
Light up the street

Maybe they'll bring her back to me

Then all my troubles will be gone

Oh Christmas lights keep shining on
