_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ It's a little [Ab] bit funny, Lord, [Bb] _ _ it's still [Gm] inside. _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ I'm not [Eb] one of those who [A] _ can easily [Ebm] hide.
_ _ [Eb] _ I don't have [Bb] much money, but _ [G] _ _ boy [Cm] if I did,
_ [Eb] _ _ I'd buy a [Fm] big mansion _ [Ab] _ where we [Bb] both could _ _ _ _ _ live.
[Eb] If _ [Ab] I was a sculptor, Lord, [Bb] _
but then [Gm] again, no.
_ _ [Cm] _
Oh, I'm out [Eb] of _ [Gm] proportions [F] _
in a time [Ab] of the show.
_ _ [Eb] _
I know [Bb] it's not much, I know [G] it's not much, but it's the best [Cm] I can do.
_ _ [Eb] _
You gave [Fm] me a gift, Lord, [Ab] _
and I'm gonna sing it [Eb] for you. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ And you can [Ab] tell [Cm] _
_ [Fm] everybody that a Christmas [Ab] is a song.
_ [Bb] _ _ It may [Cm] be a quite bright, just [Fm] simple project, but that's just how [Ab] it goes.
_ _ [Cm] _ I hope you [Eb] don't mind, I hope you don't [F] mind what I wrote [Ab] down in _ _ _ words.
_ _ _ Words, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ how wonderful life [Bb] _
_ is _ _ _ _ _ when [Ab] _ _ you're [Bb] in the world.
_ _ Words, _ _ _ _ if _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
I [Ab] was on a rooftop, [Bb] _
I'd pick up [Gm] the shoes, _ _ [Cm] _
I'd write a [Eb] few verses, _ [A] _
and then I'd [Ab] get the _ blues.
[Eb] _
But this one's a [Bb] quite, quite, quite [G] wild, a good [Cm] song.
_ _ [Eb] _
It's for people [Ab] like [Fm] you and people [Ab] like me, I'm gonna [Bb] _ keep on turning on.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ So [Ab] excuse me for forgetting, [Bb] but _ [Gm] we've spent a _ long [Cm] time.
You see, [Eb] you see, I forgot [F] you, if I dream [Ab] of you.
_ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ Anyway [Bb] the thing is, anyway the [G] thing is, what I [Cm] really mean.
_ [Eb] You are the sweetest [Fm] of, you've got the sweetest [Ab] of, the best love I've [Eb] ever seen.
I hope you go back, _ [Bb] I hope you, I hope you go back [Cm] and tell everybody _ [Fm] _
that Christmas is [Ab] a song.
_ [Bb] _ _
It may be [Cm] a quite, quite a simple thought, [Fm] _
now that I [Ab] was gone.
_ [Cm] _ I [Eb] hope you don't mind, I hope you [F] don't mind what I wrote down [Ab] in _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _
words.
_ _ _ Lord, _ _ _ words, _ _ _ I'm doing beautiful, how wonderful it [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ is. _ _
_ _ When you're in the world, _ _ _ when, _ when, when, _ _ _ [Eb] it comes [Ab] that I pull the roof down
[Bb] _ _ and picked [Gm] up my shoes, _ [Cm] _ _ I'd write [Eb] a few verses, _ [A] _ and then I'd get [Ab] the _ blues.
[Eb] _ But this [Bb] one's a quite, quite, quite, [G] wild, a good [Cm] song.
_ _ [Eb] _ It's for people [Fm] like you, people [Ab] like me, I wanna wanna keep [Eb] returning on
So excuse me, so excuse me, so [Ab] excuse me for forgetting
[Bb]
But _ [Gm] these things I do, _ you see, you [Eb] see, I'm forgotten
[F] _
You play me [Ab] no blues, [Fm] baby
[Eb]
And anyway [Bb] you think it, anyway you [G] think it, what [Cm] I really mean
You [Eb] are the sweetest art, [Fm] the sweetest art, [Ab] the sweetest art I ever [Eb] seen
_ _ I want you to come back, come [Ab] back and tell everybody
[Bb] _ That Billy [Gm] Fong got a song, Billy [Cm] Fong got a song
_ [Eb] I'm gonna sit up [A] on a stool, [Ab] I'm gonna take my shoes off
[Eb] I'm gonna write it, _ [Bb] write it, write it, [G] write it, write it
I'm [Cm] gonna come up, [Eb] go get the gospel, get [Fm] the blues, [Ab]
get the jazz
[Eb] Cause I know I'm gonna get the gospel
Make me a simple song [Ab] for everybody [Bb] because this [Gm] is my song
_ _ [Cm] _ It may [Eb] be a plain, plain, simple song but [A] _ _ that's the way [Ab] it's done
_ [Eb] _ I hope you [Bb] don't mind, I hope you [G] don't mind what I wrote you [Cm] down in words, _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Fm] words _ _
[Ab] You come on back, [Eb] you try to try it, you try again
_ _ _ Tell [Ab] _
everybody that [Bb] _ _ Billy [Gm] Fong got a song, Billy [Cm] Fong got a song
It may [Eb] be a plain, plain, simple [F] song but _ that's how it's [Ab]
done, baby
[Eb] I hope you don't [Bb] mind, I hope you don't [G] mind what I wrote you down [C] in _ _ [Eb] words
_ _ [Fm] Hold _ [Ab] it, hold it, hold it, [Eb] hold it _
