[Verse]
C Cmaj7 C6 C
Snowy nights and Christmas lights,
F Em Dm7 G7
Icy window panes,
C Cmaj7 C6 C D7
Make me wish that we could be
D7 G7
Together again
C Cmaj7 C6 C
And the windy winter avenues
F Em Dm7
Just don't seem the same,
G7 C Cmaj7 C6 C
And the Christmas carols sound like blues,
F G7 C
But the choir is not to blame
[Chorus]
G7 C F Em
But it doesn't have to be that way
F Em F Em F Em C
What we had should never have ended
F Em
I'll be dropping by today
F Em F Em F Dm C D7
'Cause we could easily get it together tonight
G7 C G7
It's only right
[Verse]
C Cmaj7 C6 C
Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus,
F Em G7
Tinseled afternoons,
C Cmaj7 C6 C D7
And the sidewalk bands that play their songs
G7
Slightly out of tune
C Cmaj7 C6 C
On the windy winter avenues
F Em Dm7 G7
There walks a lonely man,
C Cmaj7 C6 C
And if I told you who he is,
F G7 C
Well I think you'd understand
(Chorus x2)

a much simpler and easier version of the chorus would be:
G7 C F Em C
But it doesn't have to be that way
F Em F C
What we had should never have ended
F Em C
I'll be dropping by today
F Em F Em Dm G7
'Cause we could easily get it together tonight
C G7
It's only right
apart from that, pretty easy chords!. can't speak to 100% accuracy though as I'm playing from memory.
