1. It's be-gin-ning to look a lot like Christ-mas,

   Ev'-ry-where you go
          Am                   D
   Take a look in the five-and-ten, 
   G                   
   Glist-e-ning once a-gain,
         A7                              D7
   With can-dy canes and sil-ver lanes a-glow

2. It's be-gin-ning to look a lot like Christ-mas,

Bridge: A pair of hop a-long boots and a pis-tol that shoots
               Em      B7          Em
        Is the wish of Bar-ney and Ben
        A               G             A        A7
        Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
               D       A7          D
        Is the hope of Jan-ice and Jen
            D7              A7               Am                D7      D

Please Note: On the video, there is a Key change to Gb Major but 
I have not included it. You may want to turn the video off or down.
If you are comfortable playing barre chords, simply add a flat (b)
to every chord except: C becomes B, A#dim7 becomes Adim7 (x01010)**

   Ev'-ry-where you go

   There's a tree in the Grand Ho-tel, 
   G                  
   One in the park as well,
       D                 A7                D7
   The stur-dy kind that does-n't mind the snow

4. It's be-gin-ning to look a lot like Christ-mas,

   And the thing that will make them ring,
          G               E7
