A7      D6        D9      G  G/B    D        DM7   F#7      G
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go.

       Em7          G/B     A7   DM7        F#m    B7           
Take a look in the five and ten, glistening once again,

      E7   Cdim      Bm7-5  E7      A7
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

A7    D6           D9     G  G/B   D         DM7     F#7    G
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, toys in every store,

         E7      Bm7-5     A7 Fdim    D     F#m       B7
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be 

B7/F#   G    A7    D    G    D      
On your own front door.

Bridge:

  DM7     F#7       C#m7-5      Bm7-5         F#7
A pair of Hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots 

        F#7      C#m7-5      Bm
Are the wishes of Barney and Ben.

  E7            Fdim         Bm7-5     E7
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk 

      Bm7-5    Fdim        A7
Is the hope of Janice and Jen.

    A       AM7     A7     A7/6     Em7       Fdim    A7
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.


A7       D6        D9     G  G/B   D        DM7    F#7      G
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go.

          Em7          G/B    A7   DM7        F#m      B7
There's a tree in the grand hotel, one in the park as well --

     E7    Cdim     Bm7-5    E7        A7
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.

A7      D6         D9     G  G/B   D         DM7      F#7         G
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, soon the bells will start.

         E7            Bm7-5       A7 Fdim     D    F#m       B7
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing 

B7/F#     G   A7   F#7    B7           G   A7   D
Right within your heart,     right within your heart.
