Yep. It's there and on Leon Redbones Christmas album. It's also been done by Gene Autry, the Andrew Sisters and probably a whole bunch of other folks too. I love to sing it and want to play it too...just don't have the "ear" for it. So if anyone has the time and inclination to figure it out I'd really appreciate it.

FYI - Yes, it is on JB's Christmas Album. Strangely enough titled Christmas Island, I think. Great collection. Soon it will be time for it to take up semi-permanent residence in my vehicle! Good thing we have 2 copies. . . Cheers PB

I think this is on my Jimmy Buffett Christmas CD. If it is, I'll listen and have a go at figuring them out. I'll let you know how I do.....

Can anyone provide the chords for this? I've searched the Forum and Google without any luck. Thought the lyrics might trigger a response so I've included them.

Thanks, Dan

CHRISTMAS ISLAND
(Lyle Moraine)

Let's get away from sleigh bells
Let's get away from snow
Let's make or break some Christmas dear
I know the place to go
How'd you like to spend Chrismas on Christmas Island?
How'd you like to spend the holiday away across the sea?
How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd you like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?

Chorus: How'd you like to stay up late like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray for everyday your Christmas dreams come true

Bridge

Chorus: On Christmas Island your dreams come true
