[Verse]
G G
Haul out the holly
G G7 F E7
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
Am D Am
Fill up the stocking
D Am D B7 E7
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now
 
[Chorus]
Am D
For we need a little Christmas
G Em
Right this very minute
Am D
Candles in the window
G G7
Carols at the spinet
 
Am D
Yes, we need a little Christmas
G Em
Right this very minute
A A7
It hasn't snowed a single flurry
D
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry
 
[Verse]
G G
So climb down the chimney
G G7 F E7
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen
Am D Am
Slice up the fruitcake
D Am D B7 E7
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough
 
[Chorus']
Am D
For I've grown a little leaner,
G Em
grown a little colder,
Am D
Grown a little sadder,
G G7
grown a little older
 
Am D
And I need a little angel
G Em
sitting on my shoulder.
Am D G
I need a little Christmas now
