Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley
Written by: Billy Hayes/Jay Johnson
**Capo 2 for the key Elvis recorded it in**
D A
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
A7 D
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Am D G (walkdown)
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
E A A7
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me
D A
And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
A7 D
That's when those blue memories start callin'
Am D G E7
You'll be doin' alright with your Christmas of white
A D
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
Instrumental: D A A7 D
Am7 D G E7
You'll be doin' alright with your Christmas of white
A D
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
*Walkdown is optional, G-F#-F-E using bar chords
There is a 3rd verse in some recordings of this song:
I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of whiteH
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
