F
Santa never brings me a banjo
F                           Bb
And I can never understand why
Bb                  F
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
G                           C
But every Christmas morning I cry
F
Santa never brings me a banjo
F                           Bb
And I can never understand why
Bb                  F
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
C                           F
But every Christmas morning I cry

F
My brother got the train that he asked for
                     Bb
My sister even got a violin
Bb
How does he miss
F
The one thing on my list
G                             C
In the letter that I sent to him

F
I told him how hard I would practice
F                         Bb
Told him I would play so loud
Bb
That high lonesome sound
        F
Would fill up the town
C                          F
And I’d make my parents so proud

F
Santa never brings me a banjo
F                           Bb
And I can never understand why
Bb                  F
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams

But every Christmas morning I cry

Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
C                           F
But every Christmas morning I cry

F
I ask my parents if they know why
F                      Bb
Santa always leaves me sad
Bb
I do well in school
F
I follow the rules
G                            C
And I don’t think I’ve been bad

F
Maybe it’s too much for the workshop
F                               Bb
Maybe it’s too tricky for the elves
Bb
Since I’ll never understand
F
I think I’m gonna plan
C                F
To buy one for myself

F
Santa never brings me a banjo
F                           Bb
And I can never understand why
Bb                  F
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
G                           C
But every Christmas morning I cry
