Every Year, Every Christmas Chords by Luther Vandross

_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ I don't know [F#m] how _ love [D] could do [E] this to me.
_ _ [A] _ _
I've waited [F#m] and waited [D] for someone _ [E] I've never seen.
_ [G#] _
But I'm so [C#] _ sentimental and [F#m] I'm so hopeful you'll be here.
So [D] here I am [E] every _ year, [A] every Christmas.
[B] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] I've wished for you _ [D] in my heart and [E] in my [A] head.
_ And I've [F#m] got my answer [D] that first moment [E] that we met.
_ [G#] And [G#m] oh yes I [C#] believed you [F#m] as you told [C#m] me, [F#m] as you said.
_ [D] You'd be here [E] every year, [A] every [B] Christmas.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Bm] Have yourself _ a merry little Christmas.
[D] Let _ _
_ _ [A] your [E] heart be [F#] light.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Em]
From now on my troubles will be [E] out of [G] sight.
_ [D] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [Bm] Have yourself a merry little [G] Christmas.
Let [F#m] your heart _ be [Bm] light.
Make the _ [E] yuletide gay.
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[D] From [Em] now [E] on my _ _ troubles will be [Bm] miles [D] away. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Here we _ are _ [A] as in olden [E]
days.
_ _ Happy [F#] golden [G#] _
days of [A] _ yore.
_ [G#] _ _
_ _ [B] Faithful _ [A] friends that are [C#m] dear to [F#m] us. _ _
[F#] Gather near to [G] us once more.
[D#] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
Through the [Bm] _ years we all will be [G] together.
[F#m] _ _ [D] If _ [G] the faiths allow.
[Bm] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [C] _ [Em] Hang a _ [B] shining [E] star upon the [Bm] highest _ [F#m]
bough.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ And _ [D]
have [A] yourself _ [Bm] _ a merry [G] little Christmas.
_ [E] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ Don't be [B] discouraged.
_ _ _ _ Don't be _ _ dismayed.
[C#] _ [F#] _
There's hope [B] for all in this [F#]
world.
_ [B] Cause this is [C#] Christmas [D#m] day.
Say a little [G#] prayer for the world. _
_ [F#] _ God teach us [C#] love.
_ _ [D#m] Though you think that he [G#] doesn't care.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [C#] _ [F#] This is [A#m] Christmas day.
Let [D#m] the world sing.
[C#] Let [F#] our souls _ _ [C#] defeat.
All we can, all we can all.
Hallelujah.
[A#m] _ _ [D#m] This is Christmas.
This [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[G#] is Christmas [A#m] _ _ [D#m] _ _
day.
Yeah, yeah, _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ yeah.
[F#] Hallelujah.
_ [A#m] _ This [D#m] is Christmas. _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ This is Christmas.
Let [D#m] the world sing.
Let [F#] our souls _ _ [C#] defeat. _ _
Hallelujah.
