[Chorus]
D
I’m gettin’ nothin’ for Christmas
A
Poor little Eartha is sad
D
I’m gettin’ nothin’ for Christmas
      A                  D
Cause I didn’t wanna be bad


[Verse 1]
     D              G    D
Jim promised me a sable coat
      D     A      D
Just for a little kiss
    D               G    D
A diamond ring and motorboat
     D       A     D
Just for a little kiss
 D                 G
He said “I’ll buy out the stores,
A             D
Everything I have is yours.
D                G
I will be your Santa Clause,
A                  D
Just for a little kiss.”

Cause I didn’t wanna be bad

Nothin’ for Christmas
