Suddenly It's Christmas Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Suddenly it's Chr[A]istmas
Right [D]after Hal[G]lowe'en
For[D]get about Thanksgiving
It's just a buffet in between
[A]There's lights and tin[D]sel
[A]in the window
They're stock[D]ing up [G]the shelves
Santa's [D]slaving at the
North Pole
[A]In his sweatshop full of [D]elves

[Verse 2]
[D]
There's got to be a [A]build-up
To To the [D]day that Christ was [G]born
The [D]halls are decked with pumpkins
And ears of Indian [A]corn
[D]Dragging through the [A]falling leaves
In a [D]one-horse open open [G]sleigh
Sud[D]denly it's Christmas
[A]Seven weeks before the [D]day

[Verse 3]
[G]Suddenly it's Christmas
The longest holiday
When they say [D]'Season's
Greetings'
They mean just what [A]they say
It's a sea[D]son, [A]it's a marathon
Re[D]tail etern[G]ity
And it's not [D]over 'til it's over
And you [A]throw away the [D]tree

[Interlude 1]
[D][E]

[Verse 4]
Outside it's [E]positively [B]balmy barmy
In the [E]air nary [A]a nip
[E]Suddenly it's Christmas
Unbuttoned and unzipped
[B]Yes[E], they're wor[B]king overtime
[E]Santa's little [A]runts
[E]Christmas comes but once a year
[B]And goes on for two months
[E]

[Verse 5]
Christmas carols in [B]December
[E]An d November [A]too
[E]It's no wonder we're depressed
When the whole thing is [B]through
[E]Finally it's [B]January
[E]Let's sing Auld Lang [A]Syne
But here [E]comes another party
Shaped [B]like [E]a Valentine

[Verse 6]
[A]Suddenly it's Christmas
The longest holiday
The [E]season is upon us
A pox, it won't go [B]away
It's a sea[E]son, [B]it's a marathon
Re[E]tail eternity
[A]And it's not ove[E]r 'til it's over
And [B]you throw away the tree
[E]No it's not over 'til it's over
And you [B]throw away the tree
[E]It's still not over 'til it's over
And you [B]throw [E]away [E]the tree
