** for the key Elvis recorded it in** D A I'll have a blue Christmas without you A7 D I'll be so blue just thinking about you Am D G (walkdown) Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree E A A7 Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me D A And when those blue snowflakes start fallin' A7 D That's when those blue memories start callin' Am D G E7 You'll be doin' alright with your Christmas of white A D But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas Instrumental: D A A7 D Am7 D G E7 You'll be doin' alright with your Christmas of white A D But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas *Walkdown is optional, G-F#-F-E using bar chords There is a 3rd verse in some recordings of this song: I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain And when that blue heartache starts hurtin' You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of whiteH But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
