Christmas Time Is Here

(From "A Charlie Brown Christmas")

Words & Music:

Lee Mendelson & Vince Guaraldi

 

Dolly Madison cupcake ads, cardboard tree decorations from Coca-Cola & "A Charlie Brown Christmas".  Ahhhh...!  This is heavily discussed on the web & arranged for guitar in the December 2005 issue of Acoustic Guitar.

 

INTRO:  DM7/A  FM7/A  [2x]

 

DM7              C7#11 DM7           C7#11

Christmas time is here, happiness and cheer.

G#m7b5      Gm   F#m7     Fm         Em9           A11 DM13

Fun for all that children call their favorite time of year.

 

Snowflakes in the air, carols everywhere.

Olden times and ancient rhymes and love and dreams to share.

 

BRIDGE:

BbM7                Eb9#11  BbM7        Eb9#11

Sleigh bells in the air---; beauty everywhere.

DM7             F#dim Ebdim    Em     Em(M7) E9#5 A6(9)

Yuletide by the fire--side and joyful mem'---ries there.

 

 

Christmastime is here; we'll be drawing near.

G#m7b5      Gm    F#m7   Fm       Em7     A7sus4     DM13

Oh, that we could always see such spirit through the year.
