"Pretty Paper" is playing on the jukebox  
    A                              E 
And mistletoe is hanging above the bar 
          E                                    D 
I want to thank you for this broken heart that I got 
      A                  E                     A 
Merry Christmas Girl wherever in the world you are 
 
                   A   G          D     
It's going to be a ho-o-onky tonk Christmas 
          A                                 E 
For these silent nights at home are killing me 
                   A   G          D 
It's going to be a ho-o-onky tonk Christmas 
    A            E                 A 
But I'll be over you by New Year's Eve  
 
 
"Blue Christmas" turn it up I wanna hear it 
So I can unwrap all them Mem'ries in my mind 
Hey Joe!! pour me some Christmas spirit 
If I make it through December I'll be fine 
 
Chorus
