Gb                       Eb7        Abm       F
There were carols in the square, laughter everywhere,
Bbm                Gb        E7
Couples kissing under the mistletoe;
Bm               E7              Gb           Eb
I can't help re-mi-nis-cing, knowing I'll be missing
Ebm                      Ab7    Db           
Christmas Eve in my home town.


Gb            Eb7        Abm       F
Nothing can erase the mem'ries I embrace,
Bbm                Gb        E7
Those familiar footprints upon the snow.
Bm               E7                   Gb           Eb
There's so much to re-mem-ber,      no wonder I re-mem-ber
Ebm                      Ab7    Db   
Christmas Eve in my home town.


Bridge:


Dbm                 Gb  
I'd like to  be   there, 
Dbm                 Gb  
trimming the tree there
B                  Gb       B
And there's a chance that I might!
Ebm            Ab 
I can hear singing, 
Ebm             Ab 
steeple bells ringing 
B      Bbm     Abm   Db
Noel and Silent Night.

Gb                       Eb7        Abm       F
Wise men journeyed far, guided by a star,
Bbm                    Gb        E7
But though I'm not a wise man, this I know:
Bm                     E7                 Gb           Eb
Through dreams and just pretending, I'm there and I'll be spen-ding
Ebm                      Ab7    Db   
Christmas Eve in my home town.
