My baby she told me she don't want to hold me and kiss my lips anymore
E.........................................................................................F#m.G#m.A.B
She's gonna leave me and she don't believe me that I'll be true now
............E
Well maybe she don't love me, she's not thinkin' of me

But why'd she do it this time of year
...........E..................................................................................F#m.G#m.A.B
She knows that I'll miss her, and I'll want to kiss her if just for Christmas

A..........................................F#7
Merry Christmas, baby, Merry Christmas, baby

Merry Christmas, baby

E.....................................................................................A
Doh, what could I do to really convince you that I'm not that kind anymore
E..........................................................................................F#m.G#m.A.B
Take back my ring now,  I'll do anything now but please forgive me
.....E.................................................................................A
I made my mistake but I'm willing to wake up and never mess around anymore

F......................F7......................Bb.....C7......F
Frosty the Snowman, was a jolly happy soul
...............Bb..........C7...............F..........Dm...................Gm7.............C7..........F......Gm7/C
With a corncob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal.

F.....................F7...................Bb....C7............F
Frosty the Snowman, is a fairytale, they say
................Bb...........C7.....................F..........Dm...................Gm7......C7...........F
He was made of snow, but the children know how he came to life one day

............Bb.....................................F...................Gm7......C7............F
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found
............C.............................Am7......................Dm7........G7.......C......C7
For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around

F.....................F7......................Bb........C7............F
Frosty, the Snowman, was alive as he could be
.................Bb..........C7....................F...............Dm...................Gm7......C7............F......Gm7/C
And the children say he could laugh and play, just the same as you and me

F.....................F7..............................Bb.........C7............F
Frosty the Snowman, knew the sun was hot that day
............Bb................C7.....................F...............Dm..............Gm7....C7.......F......Gm7/C
So he said, "Let's run, and we'll have some fun now before I melt away."

F........................F7......................Bb..............C7........F
Down to the village, with a broom-stick in his hand,
.................Bb............C7..............F..............Dm......................Gm7..........C7..........F
Running here and there, all around the square, sayin', "Catch me if you can."

.......Bb.................................F..............................Gm7......C7........F
He led them down the streets of town, right to the traffic cop
................C.......................Am7........................Dm7..........G7..........C......C7
And he only paused a moment, when he heard him holler, "Stop!"

F.....................F7..........................Bb.....C7........F
Frosty, the Snowman, had to hurry on his way
................Bb...............C7...................F.............Dm.............Gm7...C7............F
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day"
