E                                     A          E      B      E
Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la!
E                            A        E      B      E
'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la!
B               E           G#m       C#m    F#   B
Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la!
E                                 A           E    B    E
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la!

E         A          E
She said goodbye on Christmas day
E                       B
With a richer man she ran away
       E         A             E
In the back of a sleigh in his arms she lay
E                  B         E
She’s the bitch of Christmas day

E               A       E
With a broken heart on Christmas day
E                   B
A man can sing or a man can pray
E            A          E
In an empty house no-one will stay
E               B       E
I’m alone on Christmas day

A – E – B – E - C#m

         A               E
Through the snow and the hail
         B       E           C#m
I will find me a way to the mayor
        A        E
By the light of a star
         B           E         B
as a friend with the jar and a song

     A      B
So raise a glass
        E               A
To the love that will pass
      F#m                 B            E
This Christmas drown the ghost of the past

E               A       E
In the morning grey on boxing day
E                         B
The barman send me on my way
E            A             E
I smell like piss and a full ash tray
E             B      E
I am home on boxing day

A – E – B – E - C#m

            A            E
Through the snow and the hail
       B           E             C#m
I went on when I met with a stranger
    A          E           B            E          B
Who came from afar from a friend with a jar and a song

     A      B
So raise a glass
        E               A
To the love that will pass
      F#m                 B            E
This Christmas drown the ghost of the past

           A            E
I went to church on new year’s day
          E             B
For a priest to take my sins away
    E               A           E         C#m
He had some wine to share and a prayer to pray
       E        B          E
And we drank on new year’s day
