Even if it's not yet xmas, here is a xmas song!
Here is a beautiful song from "Merry Christmas", the Xmas' album from
the great Mariah Carey.
It's not yet the time, but it's better being early ;-)
I tried to figured out the chords, and I think that they fits quite well,
but anyone feel free to make them better

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU ( Mariah Carey )

G
I don't want a lot for Christmas
G/B
there is just one thing I need
C
I don't care about the presents
Cm
underneath the Christmas tree
G Bm C/E D
I just want you for my own
G Bm C/E D
more than you could ever know
C
Make my wish come true...
C D G Em C D
All I want for Christmas is you
I don't want a lot for Christmas
there is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
there upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
with a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
more than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas is you, you, baby
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
underneath the mistletoe
I won't even make a list and send it
to the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
holding on to me so tight
What more can I do, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, you
B G
All the lights are shining so brightly everywhere
B G
And the sound of children laughter fills the air
Cm G Em
and everyone is singing I hear those sleigh bells swinging
C
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
D
won't you please bring my baby to me
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
this is all I'm asking for
I just want to see baby
standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
more than you could ever know
Make my wish come true,
all I want for Christmas is you...
all I want for Christmas is you...

| I love this song!It is (next to Crosby's White Christmas) my favorite Christmas song of all time. It brings out the joy of Christmastime. I do not personally like Meriah Carey...but I dont go around insulting her with foul language. Everyone has their own opinions,and thats fine.But there just isn't any reason why every song I look up the comments on has distgusting,perverted and inmature language somewhere by someone just because they don't like the song.If they dont like it then why waste their time writing comments like that? I think that they should have rules against it. *We do..comments cleanedEdited by oofus on December 23 2004, at 04:14PM | |

| there are many others who sing this song besides mariah carey - if i want to hear this song, i prefer to hear someone else sing this song other than carey.. =P i like this song, because it's not the materialistic things that make the singer happy...it's the person he/she loves.. =] | |

| I think this song is the third part of a trilogy. Mariah tells a story between three songs on three completely different albums. First, MY ALL (from BUTTERFLY) describes how much she needs and wants to be with a past love. AFTER TONIGHT (from RAINBOW) describes getting her wish and hoping that when the sunrises, he'll still want to be with her and that it wasn't a one-night stand. Finally, I ONLY WANTED (from CHARMBRACELET) describes how the man left her and abandoned her. Mariah has never mentioned that these three songs go together, but I think it's perfect. They all have that same sense of longing and yearning with the spanish-influenced melody and guitar. Absolutely brilliant and gorgeous. | |

| This song is like cigarette smoke to me. I don't actually like it, but whenever I smell cigarette smoke it reminds me of holidays in Europe and puts me in a good mood. And although I despise this song, it reminds me of Christmas and makes me happy. | |

| That's illegal. She wants a human being for Christmas. Slavery is already illegal for about 2 centuries :P. Cool song to sing along with :P (exaggeratedly ofcourse). I know what I want for Christmas: you! :D | |
