[Verse 1]
C
It's been a long long year
    Dm7
But Christmas is finally here
     G
Been waiting and waiting
G
Anticipating
                           C
The jolly old man with the beard

[Verse 2]
C
He took his sweet sweet time
Dm7
Getting those reindeer aligned
     G
They jingled and jangled
G
Caught in a tangle
                               C
But looks like they're finally flying

[Pre-Chorus]
F                 Em7
Listen baby those sleigh bells ringing
F                  C
And the tabernacle choir singing
F             Em7
I wonder what Santa's bringing
G
Bringing for you my dear

[Chorus]
               C         Am  G
Oh it's been a long long year
    F                    G
But Christmas is finally here
                 C    G    Am  G
Yeah it's been a long long year
    F            G       C
But Christmas is finally here

[Verse 3]
C
It's been a wild wild ride
    Dm
But darling with you by my side
            G
Through the hustle and bustle
G
And all the kerfuffle
                    C
We kept the spirit alive

[Verse 4]
C
Now it's that time of year
         Dm7
When the Bethlehem star appears
  G
Together we made it
G
So let's celebrate it
                     C
Christmas is finally here

[Pre-Chorus]
F            Em7
Look baby it started snowin'
F                     C
You and I could get a fire going
F           Em7
My heart is overflowing
    G                   G7
You fill up my cup with cheer

[Chorus]
               C         Am  G
Oh it's been a long long year
    F                    G
But Christmas is finally here
                 C    G    Am  G
Yeah it's been a long long year
    F            G       C
But Christmas is finally here

[Outro]
                 Dm   Cm        F    E7   Am   D7
It's been a long long long long long long year
    F            G       C
And Christmas is finally here
C
Merry Christmas to you
