[Verse 1]  
          C         F       C
When it's Christmas time in Texas
C                               C7
It's a very special time for me
   F                        C
In Texas we'll be swinging around the Christmas Tree
D7                          G
Dancing to a Christmas melody
          C         B7      C
When it's Christmas time in Texas
C                                F
It might look just like a summer day
F                Dm7     C         A7
There may not be snow in San Antonio
    D7           G            C
But it's a Texas Christmas to me

[Chorus]
     F             E7       F
When Santa crosses over the border
      C                                C7
He'll sound a little different when he sings
             F          E7           F
'Cause he'll hear those twin fiddles playing
          D7                            G
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing
      F          Dm7     C         A7
There may not be snow in San Antonio
    D            G            C
But it's a Texas Christmas to me

[Solo]

[Verse 2]
               F       C
It's Christmas time in Texas
C                                       C7
I love to hear those Christmas carolers sing
F             Dm7           C           A7
People on the go children's faces all a-glow
D7                           G
Wondering what Santa's gonna bring
C             B7      C
Grandpas been chasing grandma around
C                    C7               F
Trying to catch her 'neath the mistle-toe
F             Dm7       C                    A7
Everything is right The Lone Star is shining bright
    D7           G            C
and it's a Texas Christmas to me

[Chorus]
F                  E7       F
When Santa crosses over the border
      C                                C7
He'll sound a little different when he sings
             F          E7           F
'Cause he'll hear those twin fiddles playing
          D7                            G
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing
      F          Dm7     C         A7
There may not be snow in San Antonio
    D            G            C
But it's a Texas Christmas to me

[Outro]
           F           Dm7         C         A7
And here's wishing you all a Merry Christmas
      D7             G         C   C
Merry Christmas from Texas and me
