[Verse 1]
E
Christmas comes but once a year
B
But you're not here with me
B
The holidays bring heartaches now
E
Painful memories
E
You and I were so in love
A
But so it seem to me
E
Christmas comes but once a year
B E
And that's too much for me
[Chorus]
A E
Last christmas eve you left me
A E
With just two words you were free
E
So long, so long
A E
Sent back that ring that I bought you
F# B
That was your present to me
[Verse 2]
E
I didn't send out christmas cards
B
Or decorate the tree
B
Nothing seems to matter
E
Since you're not here with me
E
I spend my holiday at home
A
With thoughts of used to be
E
Christmas comes but once a year
B E
And that's too much for me
[Guitar Solo]
A E B E
[Chorus]
A E
Last christmas eve you left me
A E
With just two words you were free
E
So long, so long
A E
Sent back that ring that I bought you
F# B
That was your present to me
[Verse 3]
E
There's no wreath on my front door
B
No garland on my tree
B
But it could still be christmas dear
E
If you come back to me
E
I kept your ring, I kept our vows
A
I'm waiting here to see
E
Christmas comes but once a year
B E
When you come back to me
E
Darling, christmas comes but once a year
B E
When you come back to me
[Outro]
