CHRISTMAS TEARS As recorded by Eric Clapton (From the 2018 Album HAPPY XMAS) Words & Music by Sonny Thompson & Robert Wilson Arranged by Eric Clapton Trancribed by Slowhand [1st Verse] I hear sleigh bells ring But I haven’t heard a word from you in years I hear sleigh bells ringin’ But I haven’t heard a word from you in years I hear choirs singin’ And I’m just sittin’ here cryin’ Christmas tears [2nd Verse] Everybody’s singin’ “Merry Christmas” As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer Everybody’s singin’ “Merry Christmas” As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer I’m smilin’ on the outside But on the inside I’m cryin’ Christmas tears [Bridge] Well you’ve been gone such a long long time But it’s Christmas and I can’t get you off of my mind Yes you’ve been gone a hundred years or more If you come back They could hang a “Merry Christmas” on my door I need you baby Kiss and hold me tight I need you darling F#dim7 On a lonely Christmas night And as I sit and I think of the long lonely years I can’t help but cry Christmas tears [Guitar Solo] dim7 / / dim7 / Gsus [Outro]
