[Verse 1]
     C                F                C
It's time to pack our bags and hit the highway
    C               F             G   G7
And head on out for Christmas holiday
     C               F             C
I'll fall apart when I pull in the driveway
        Dm7                   G               C   F G
It's my first time home since brother passed away

[Verse 2]
    C                F               C
His favorite time of year was always Christmas
                F             G
We'd reminisce about the days gone by
   C               F                 C
Oh how I wish that he was still here with us
   Dm7         G              C
My memories of him will never die

[Chorus]
         Am
When the stockings are hung
                      D7
Silent night has been sung
    F                    D   D7
And Christmas is finally here
   Dm7          G7        C    F G
It won't be the same this year

[Verse 3]
C               F               C
  Losin' my big brother hurt so badly
                          F                G    G7
It's helped me learn what Christmas really means
        C              F                 C
There's nothing more important then your family
      Dm7              G              C
We're all the children of the King of kings

[Chorus]
         Am
When the stockings are hung
                      D7
Silent night has been sung
    F                    D   D7
And Christmas is finally here
   Dm7          G7        C
It won't be the same this year

[Chorus]
         Am
When the stockings are hung
                      D7
Silent night has been sung
    F                    D   D7
And Christmas is finally here
   Dm7          G7        C    F  C   Dm7  G  C
It won't be the same this year
