From: Brian Davies 

Subject: CRD: "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses



Here's one of my favorite Christmas songs of any genre.  I posted the

chords last year, but since then, Joe was kind enough to send me a

complete lyric transcription.  I've spliced the lyrics and chords

together, and here's the result.



If you enjoy this, please drop me a line.  It encourages me to do more. 



Christmas '97 note: Thanks to Paul Trotta for sending lyrics to the verses

that aren't listed in the liner notes.  I also finally found a copy of the

song on an obscure New Wave Christmas compilation, so I've been able to

make a number of improvements.  The breaks are now in the right place,

I've added the intro, and the transitions in the chorus are better.



                                                      - Brian

  Strum Two Verses



[A] "Bah, humbug!"  No, that's too strong

'Cause it [A] is my favorite holiday

But [D] all this year's been a busy blur

Don't [C] think I have the [b] energy



To [A] add to my already mad rush

Just [A] 'cause it 'tis the season.

The [D] perfect gift for me would be

Com[C]pletions and con[b]nections left from



[A] Last year, ski shop,

En[A]counter, most interesting.

[D] Had his number but never the time

[C] Most of '81 passed a[b]long those lines.



So [A] deck those halls, trim those trees

[A] Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,

[D] I just need to catch my breath,

[E] Christmas by my[A]self this year.



  [A]  [A]  [E]  [A]

  [A]  [A]  [E]  [A]



[A] Calendar picture, frozen landscape,

[A] Chilled this room for twenty-four days,

[D] Evergreens, sparkling snow

[C] Get this winter over with! [b]



Flashback to [A] springtime, saw him again,

[A] Would've been good to go for lunch,

[D] Couldn't agree when we were both free.

We [C] tried, we said we'd [b] keep in touch.



[A] Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,

[A] Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?

[D] No, this time it was me,

[C] Sunburn in the [b] third degree.



[A] Now the calendar's just one page

And, of [A] course, I am excited.

To[D]night's the night, I've set my mind

Not to [E] do too much a[A]bout it.



  [A] [A] [E] [A]

Merry [A] Christmas!  Merry [A] Christmas!

But I [E] think I'll miss this [A] one this year.

Merry [A] Christmas!  Merry [A] Christmas!

But I [E] think I'll miss this [A] one this year.

Merry [A] Christmas!  Merry [A] Christmas!

But I [E] think I'll miss this [A] one this year.

Merry [A] Christmas!  Merry [A] Christmas!

But I [E] think I'll miss this [A] one this year.



[A] Hardly dashing through the snow

[A] 'Cause I bundled up too tight.

[D] Last minute, had to do 

A few [C] cards, a few [b] calls,



Because it's [A] R. S. V. P.

[A] No thanks, no party lights.

It's [D] Christmas Eve, gonna relax,

[C] Turned down all of [b] my invites.



Last [A] fall I had a night to myself,

[A] Same guy called, Halloween party,

[D] Waited all night for him to show,

[C] This time his car [b] wouldn't go.



For[A]get it, it's cold, it's getting late,

[A] Trudge on home to celebrate

In a [D] quiet way, unwind

[E] Doing Christmas [A] right this time.



  [A]  [A]  [E]  [A]

  [A]  [A]  [E]  [A]



[A] A&P has provided me

With the [A] world's smallest turkey

Al[D]ready in the oven, nice and hot

Oh [C] damn!  Guess what [b] I forgot?



So [A] on with the boots, back out in the snow

To the [A] only all-night grocery,

When [D] what to my wondering eyes should appear

In the [C] line is that guy I've been [b] chasing all year!



"I'm [A] spending this one alone," he said.

"Need a [A] break; this year's been crazy."

I [D] said, "Me too, but why are you?

You mean [C] you forgot cran[b]berries too?"



Then [A] suddenly we laughed and laughed

Caught [A] on to what was happening

That [D] Christmas magic's brought this tale

To a [E] very happy [A] ending!



  [A]  [A]  [E]  [A]

  [A]  [A]  [E]  [A]

  [D] [D] [G] [G]  [D] [D] [G] [Bm] [E] [Bm]



Merry [A] Christmas!  Merry [A] Christmas!

[E] Couldn't miss this [A] one this year!

Merry [A] Christmas!  Merry [A] Christmas!

[E] Couldn't miss this [A] one this year!

Merry [A] Christmas!  Merry [A] Christmas!

[E] Couldn't miss this [A] one this year!

Merry [A] Christmas!  Merry [A] Christmas!

[E] Couldn't miss this [A] one this year!
