Intro: C G C G

 I'm walking backwards for Christmas
   F
Across the Irish sea
C
 I'm walking backwards for Christmas
         G              C
It's the only thing for me

       C            F
I've tried walking sideways
     C
And walking to the front
     D
But people just look at me
    G
And    said it's a publicity stunt

C                             A
 I'm walking backwards for Christmas
     F        G       C
To prove that I love you

   Cm
An immigrant lad
           G
Loved an Irish Colleen
      F        G     Cm
From Dublin's Galway Bay
    Cm
He longed for her arms,
          F
But she spurned his charms,
      G              Bb   C
And sailed o'er the foam away

                       Bb           Eb
She left the lad by himself, on his own
      Bb           Gm
All alone, a-sorrowing
      Cm                     G#
And sadly he dreamed, or at least that's the

way it seemed, buddy,
          G
That an angel choir for him,
                    C
an angel choir did sing.

G#    Bb      F#             G#m
 I'm walking backwards for Christmas
  Bb       Dm     E
Across the Irish Sea
F             Gm              C
 I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
          Eb              C
It's the finest thing for me.

       C                   F
And so I've tried walking sideways,
     C
And walking to the front
     D
But people just laughed
    G
And   said it's a publicity stunt.
   C                            A
So I'm walking backwards for Christmas
     F        G       C
To prove that I love you.
