Melissa Etheridge - Christmas In America Chords

[Intro]
E
 
 
[Verse 1]
E
Well, I picked out a tree
E
And I tied it to the car
          A
There's a wreath up on our door
A
Eight tiny reindeer in the yard
  E
I drove under the downtown lights
E
Red an' green and blue
    A
The silver neon snowflakes
A
Only made me think of you
     F#m
It's Christmas all around me
          E
You're in someone else's land
       A
So I'm sending out my only wish
A
Hey Santa, tell the man:
 
 
[Chorus]
E   Bm
Hey mister
A            E
Send my baby home
       Bm
This December
        A               E
I don't want to be all alone
    F#m
Oh, Christmas in America
  G#m
I need you in my arms
D                 A
Far away from harm
N.C.         E
Send my baby home
 
 
[Verse 2]
E
I hear someone singing "Jingle Bells"
E
No wait, that's "Deck the Halls"
        A
And the teenagers with candy canes
A
Ramble through the malls
    E
The girls are down at Ruby's
E
Trying to find some Christmas cheer
            A
There's not much to do but drink too much
A
When every day is unclear
   F#m
So here I am on Christmas Eve
     E
This silent holy night
      A
And I reach up to the stars for you
A
I pray that you're alright
 
 
[Chorus]
E   Bm
Hey mister
A            E
Send my baby home
       Bm
This December
        A               E
I don't want to be all alone
    F#m
Oh, Christmas in America
  G#m
I need you in my arms
D                 A
Far away from harm
                     E
Mister, send my baby home
 
 
[Bridge]
     F#m
What happened to the peace on Earth?
    G#m
All that goodwill toward men?
    A
Oh, come on, all ye faithful
A
It's time to think again
 
 
[Chorus]
E
Hey mister
A            E
Send my baby home
       Bm7
This December
        A
I don't want to be all alone
A
Oh, come on, come on, come on
E   Bm7
Hey mister
A            E
Send my baby home
       Bm7
This December
        A               E
I don't want to be all alone
