How Do I Wrap My Heart Up For Christmas

E                           A
Silver bells are ringing, Carolers are singing
E                                B
Snowflakes drifting through the air
E                     A                   E
Everybody's shopping Got no time for stopping
                B           E
It looks like Christmas is here.

So tell me

[Chorus]
                  A              E
How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas
                    B
I wanna give it to you,
E
Pretty bows and ribbons
       A
Don't fit the gift I'm givin'
E            B                E
Your lovin' arms will have to do.

[Verse]
B                            E
At first, I though of giving you A pretty diamond ring
A               E            B
Wore myself out shopping For a million other things
A                            E
Finally decided On something you can't buy
F#                          B
But how will I disguise it So you will be surprised.

[Chorus]
                  A              E
How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas
                    B
I wanna give it to you,
E
Pretty bows and ribbons
       A
Don't fit the gift I'm givin'
E            B                E
Your lovin' arms will have to do.

[Instrumental]
B                            E
A gift of love was given to, The world so long ago
A             E               B
Laying in a manger, He was wrapped in swadlin' clothes
A                            E
And every year we celebrate And thank the Lord above
F#                        B
And give to one another Our little gifts of love.

[Chorus]
                  A              E
How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas
                    B
I wanna give it to you,
E
Pretty bows and ribbons
       A
Don't fit the gift I'm givin'
E            B                E
Your lovin' arms will have to do.

Pretty bows and ribbons
       A
Don't fit the gift I'm givin'
E            B                E
Your lovin' arms will have to do...
