Lonely This Christmas – Mud

This popular Elvis-influenced song was the British 1974 Christmas number 1 and has remained popular over time. It has been covered by James Memphis King, KT Tunstall and Blue, but was never actually sung by Elvis himself 🙂 

 

G      E    D-D-C
Try to imagine

C      A         A       F    E    D
A house that’s not a home

D          G   E     D-D-C
Then try to imagine
