[Intro]
Bm Em C G

[Verse 1]
Bm Em
Daylight is fadin’, turn on the lights
C G
I’m drinkin’ daily into the night
Bm Em
The radio’s playin’ that old song by Slade
C G
So I sit here blazin’, memories we made
Bm
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

[Chorus]
Em C
When the Christmas bells ring out, they don’t sound
G Bm
Like they did every year you were here
Em C
When the mistletoe comes ‘round, we don’t kiss
G Bm
Like we did all the years you were here
Em C G
Mm, mm-hmm, mm-mm, mm-hmm, mm-mm, mm, mm-hmm

[Verse 2]
Bm Em
Everyone’s prayin’ this year it’s white
C G
The radio’s playin’ thе same old tune
Bm
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

[Chorus]
Em C
When the Christmas bells ring out, they don’t sound
G Bm
Like they did every year you were here
Em C
When the mistletoe comes ‘round, we don’t kiss

Like we did all the years you were here

[Bridge]
Bm Em
Snow filled globe, all around
C G
On the day that you left town
Bm Em C
Children sing in the streets
G D
Songs you used to sing to me
D7 C
Close my eyes until December ends
G D
And all of the whiskey has been drunk
D7 C
All the wrappin’ paper has been torn
G D Cmaj7
Just like my heart when you left home
Bm
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

When the Christmas bells ring out (The bells ring out), they don’t sound

Like we did all the years you were here (Mm-hmm, mm-hmm)

When the Christmas bells ring out (The bells ring out), they don’t sound
G Bm
Like they did every year you were there (Mm-hmm, mm-hmm)

When the mistletoe comes ‘round (When it comes ‘round), we don’t kiss
G Bm
Like we did every year you were here (Mm-hmm, mm-hmm)
Em C
When the Christmas bells ring out (The bells ring out), they don’t sound
