[Chorus]
       F            C                   Dm     Bb
Hasn't every little Christmas wish been sent?
     F                C               Dm      Bb
Have sugar plums been dancing in your head?
  F            C                 Dm       Bb
I hope the holiday will find you well
    F   C     F
Oh, Noel, oh, Noel


[Verse 1]
  Gm         C          F      Dm
I met you in December '93
  Gm               C                     F             F7
Noel, been staying up the block with her mother's family
    Gm                         C                Dm       C         Bb         Bbm
For two straight weeks, we ran through snow and kissed beneath the mistletoe
     F            C           F
And swore love in secret company


[Chorus]
F                   C                   Dm      Bb
Hasn't every little Christmas card been sent?
    F                C                 Dm      Bb
Has every child been tucked into their bed?
    F                C                  Dm      Bb
I'm hoping that this song will find you well
      F  C      F
Oh, Noel, oh, Noel


[Verse 2]
  Gm                C               F      Dm
A decade passed and letters all but died
    Gm                 C                  F                F7
Ten years that saw her folks divorced and best friend's suicide
    Gm           C              Dm       C     Bb     Bbm
I'd see her on occasion looking pale and petrified
    F                  C             F
I'd wave but she would only turn and cry


Dm C Bb

[Verse 3]
    F             C             Dm     Bb
The embers in the fireplace are dead
    F                 C               Dm      Bb
The late-night news reports are being read
     F                 C             Dm     Bb
They found you in some dirty cheap motel
       F    C   F
But oh well, oh well


[Outro]
  Bb   Bbm F
Noel, Noel, Noel
