[Verse 1] C G He was just a little tree, kinda scrawny, kinda thin, Am Em and in that great big house, didn’t seem to fit in. F A7 On Christmas Eve he heard the mistress of that big ole house say, D7 Am G “That little tree is ugly. Get a new one right away!” [Chorus] C G Nobody wants me, and tomorrow’s Christmas Day. Am Em Nobody needs me for the Christmas holiday. F A7 Nobody loves me, and I have no place to stay. D7 Am G C Nobody wants me. I’m going to run away! [Verse 2] C G The cold wind whistled and it howled as he trudged through the snow Am Em with ornaments a-janglin’ and icicles aglow F A7 Passed factories and houses and the ole saw mill D7 Am G when suddenly he saw the little cabin on the hill. [Chorus] C G Nobody wants me, and tomorrow’s Christmas Day. Am Em Nobody needs me for the Christmas holiday. F A7 Nobody loves me, and I have no place to stay. D7 Am G C Nobody wants me. I’m going to run away! [Verse 3] C G Through the window he could see little Tommy’s curly head, Am Em and he heard little Tommy prayin’ before he climbed in bed, F A7 “We don’t expect presents, God, but maybe you could see D7 Am G some way of getting us just a little Christmas tree.” [Bridge] C G Am Em F A7 D7 Am G C [Verse 4] C G The little gift-laden tree crept inside late that night, Am Em and next morning, he was greeted with squeals of delight. F A7 “It’s a miracle!” they shouted, and he knew it was true D7 Am G for he had found a home and a loving family, too. [Chorus] C G Somebody wants me, and today is Christmas Day. Am Em Somebody needs me for a happy holiday. F A7 Somebody loves me, and I have a place to stay. D7 Am G C Somebody loves me and I’ll never run away!
