Tom: Am
C G Am F Fm C
[Verse 1]
C C/B
Looking around at Tinseltown
Am C
It doesn't have the right vibe
F C Am G
How can it be Christmas when it's 74 outside
C C/B
I miss the glow, the falling snow
Am C
Lights one every street
F C/B
The crisp bite of the air
F G
And the crunch beneath my feet
[Pre-chorus]
Am E C D*
I might be so far away and feeling all alone
F
But it's time to make some new traditions
G
Cause I can't make it home
[Chorus]
C C/B Am
We'll have a California Christmas
F G
Surf instead of sleigh
C C/B Am
It may not be what we're used to
F G
And maybe that's okay
C E
Palm trees swaying, children playing
Am D* C C/B
In Beverly Hills A , in California
Am F Fm C
Christmas is still with us anyway
[Solo]
C G Am F Fm C
[Verse 2]
C C/B
Chasing dreams, starlet scenes
Am C
Making a name for myself
F C
All my Yuletide memories
Am G
In an old frame on the shelf
C C/B
I didn't know 5 below
Am C
And the frost upon the glass
F C
How much those things meant to me
C/B G
Memories from the past
[Pre-chorus]
Am E C D*
I might be so far away and feeling all alone
F
But it's time to make some new traditions
G
Cause I can't make it home
[Chorus]
C C/B Am
We'll have a California Christmas
F G
Sun instead of ice
C C/B Am
It may not be what we're used to
F G
But maybe that'd be nice
C E
Palm trees swaying, children playing
Am D* C C/B
In Beverly Hills A , in California
Am F Fm C
Christmas is still with us anyway
[Solo]
C Am C F C G x2
[Chorus]
C C/B Am
We'll have a California Christmas
F G
Our favorite season in the sand
C C/B Am
The first thing on our wishlist
F G
To have the merriest we can
C E
Palm trees swaying, children playing
Am D*
In Beverly Hills A
C C/B Am C C/B Am
California Christmas, California Christmas
C C/B Am F Fm* C
California Christmas is still with us anyway
