D# G# D#
it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas ,
G7 G# C7
everywhere you go
Fm A#
take a look in the five – and – ten ,
A#7 Fm
glistening once again ,
A# F7 Fm A#
with candy canes and silver lanes aglow

D# G# D#
it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas ,
G7 G# C7
toys in every store
Fm Fdim
but the prettiest sight to see ,
D# C7
is the holly that will be ,
Fm A#7 D#
on your own front door

G7
a pair of hop along boots and a pistol that shoots
C7 G7 Cm
is the wish of barney and ben
A#7 F7
dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
A#7 F7 A#
is the hope of janice and jen
A#7 F7 Fm A# A#7
and mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again

D# G# D#
it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas ,
G7 G# C7
everywhere you go
Fm A#
there’s a tree in the grand hotel ,
A#7 Fm
one in the park as well ,
A# F7 Fm A#
the sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow

D# G# D#
it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas ,
G7 G# C7
soon the bells will start
Fm Fdim
and the thing that will make them ring ,
D# C7
is the carol that you sing ,
Fm A#7 D#
right within your heart

instrumental to chorus chords ( it’s beginning to look a lot . . . )

however , live , let’s do this bridge again :
G7
a pair of hop along boots and a pistol that shoots
C7 G7 Cm
is the wish of barney and ben
A#7 F7
dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
A#7 F7 A#
is the hope of janice and jen
A#7 F7 Fm A# A#7
and mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again

D# G# D#
it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas ,
G7 G# C7
toys in every store
Fm Fdim
but the prettiest sight to see ,
D# C7
is the holly that will be ,
Fm A#7 G
on your own front door
Fm A#7 D#
for it’s christmas once more!
