G            G
Haul out the holly
           G              F      E
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again

[Pre-Chorus]
Am   D      Am D
Fill up the stocking
         Am                  D                    F      E
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
Carols at the spinet

[Post-Chorus]
        Am            D
Yes, we need a little Christmas
G               Em
Right this very minute
   A
It hasn't snowed a single flurry
    D
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry

[Verse 2]
   G              G
So climb down the chimney
            G                   F          E
Turn on the brightest string of light I've ever seen

[Pre-Chorus]
Am    D      Am   D
Slice up the fruitcake
             Am               D                 F        E
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
Grown a little older

[Post-Chorus]
      Am            D
And I need a little angel
G             Em
Sitting on my shoulder
Am            D         G
Need a little Christmas now

[Verse 3]
       Am            D
For we need a little music
G             Em
Need a little laughter
Am               D
Need a little singing
G
Ringing through the rafter

[Outro]
       Am            D
And we need a little snappy
 G          Em
"Happy ever after"
Am            D         G      G
Need a little Christmas now
