The Last Christmas Song (12.24.13)
The tree is empty down below
There's no more wine and no more snow
Soon there'll be no more holiday
Christmas has come and it's going away
This is the last Christmas song
This is the last Christmas song
This is the last Christmas song I will sing to you
The trash cans are full of paper and bows
The stockings are empty, and that's how it goes
Soon there'll be just another day
Christmas has come and it's going away
This is the last Christmas song
This is the last Christmas song
This is the last Christmas song you'll hear from me
Changes come this time of year
The latest thing is almost here
So the last thing you'll want to hear
Is one more song of holiday cheer
They say everything comes to an end
Who can tell if we'll meet again
Soon they'll all be regular days
Christmas is going and it just won't stay
This is the last Christmas song
This is the last Christmas song
This is the last Christmas song
Verse:
G F C G
C e7 A# F
Bridge:
D e C G
D e C
D e C G
D e C D
Original notes to myself:
(My first instinct is to repeat this last bit as though it were a record skipping a groove. Then, a noise that sounds like a scratch, and the song resolves to the last chord. Of course, you can always try to find a last line for the song instead.)

Christmas Time Is Finally Here (12.24.13)
It's Christmas time; what's on your list
I'll help Santa with what he's missed
Give me peace on earth, goodwill toward men
Maybe send a card every now and then
Colored lights and candy canes
Carolers singing down the lane
Friends and family gathered near
Christmas time is finally here
Bells that ring and reindeer tales
A favorite song that never fails
To raise the holiday cheer
Christmas time is finally here
I made a resolution long ago
While we were beneath the mistletoe
I'd love you 'til the last star fell
How long that is, time will tell
Winter nights and stars that glow
If we get lucky it might snow
But even if the skies are clear
Christmas time is finally here
Chorus: G a C D
Verse: b7 G e A
Break: G A f# D
Bridge: b7 c#7 Dmaj7 F#dim7 Ebdim7 A7
End: G A D
