[Verse 1]
C Bb Eb Bb
It was Christmas Eve, I was all alone and my old heart was just like a stone
Eb Ab Bb
And I didn't want no one to bother me
C Bb Eb Bb
My eyes were red, my lips were blue, my cheeks were cold and shriveled too
Eb Ab Bb
I was as mean as mean could ever be
[Verse 2]
C Bb Ab Bb
But look at all I'd come to own those velvet walls, that golden throne
Eb Ab Bb
I'd sit inside and hide my misery
C Bb Ab Bb
And the only friend that I could claim is a pale old ghost who came in chains
Eb Ab Bb
To warn me of my ill-begotten fate
[Verse 3]
C Bb Ab Bb
He said he lived his life regretfully, so full of fear and full of greed
Eb Ab Bb
And for him the chance to change was much too late
C Bb Ab Bb
But he said that I was Ebenezer Scrooge, that I still had some life to lose
Eb Ab Bb
and that maybe I should open up the gate
[Verse 4]
C Bb Ab Bb
For spirits come from yesterday and spirits come from yet to come
Eb Ab Bb
He said follow them and do not hesitate
C Bb Ab Bb
Then he hung his head and he drifted away and he left me there that winter
day
Eb Ab Bb
So I opened up my heart to have a look
[Verse 5]
C Bb Ab Bb
And I saw all the way back to the day my true love could no longer stay
Eb Ab Bb
For I was just a miser and a crook
C Bb Ab Bb
And with her parting but a year behind, I saw the life she went on to find
Eb Ab Bb
It was a picture-perfect story book
[Verse 6]
C Bb Ab Bb
And it made me cry as my buckles shook, oh my oh I had found the hook
Eb Ab Bb
I got outta there, that was all I could take
C Bb Ab Bb
Then I looked out through the frosted glass to see the world that's yet to
pass
