Intro: D  F#7  G  Gm 

D                        F#7 
I love Christmas in the snow 
                      G 
But Christmas in the sand don't end 
  Gm 
I tell you that's where it's at 

D                        F#7 
   Why in tropic all my skin 
                       G 
A candy cane of peppermint, a hint 
     Gm 
Of cocoa on my lips 

    Em 
It could've been the sun 
    G 
It could've been the sea 
    Em                         G 
It could've been my childhood fantasy 


D 
I saw Santa in his bathing suit 
 F#7 
Tried to catch a wave, but he tried to soon 
    G 
He laughed so hard that he could barely breathe 
     Gm 
And washed up next to me 


              D 
He said that you look naughty, but I'm sure you're nice 
F#7 
He was soaking wet but he cracked a smile 
         G 
With a present in his hand 
                Gm 
He said it's Christmas in the sand 

D                               F#7 
   I must have had too much to drink 
                                   G 
Cause Rudolph's nose was shining green, I think 
         Gm 
He was playing reindeer games on me 

D                        F#7 
   Santa only called him once 
                            G 
But you should've seen him run so fast 
          Gm 
They were gone in a dash 

    Em 
It could've been the sun 
    G 
It could've been the sea 
    Em                       G 
It could've been my childhood fantasy 

Refrão (4x)

(D  F#7  G  Gm) 
Christmas in the sand, whoa (4x) 

       Em 
Don't need you in the coat 
       G 
Don't need you in a hat 
      Em 
Just grab the one you love 
              G 
And say you're never coming back 

    D 
If you see Santa in his bathing suit 
 F#7 
Tried to catch a wave, but he tried to soon 
    G 
He laughed so hard that he could barely breathe 
      Gm 
It's what he did to me 
              D 
He said that you look naughty, but I'm sure you're nice 
F#7 
He was soaking wet but he cracked a smile 
         G 
With a present in his hand 
                Gm 
He said it's Christmas in the sand 

(D  F#7  G) 
Christmas in the sand, whoa (3x) 

          Gm                 D 
I love Christmas in the sand
