Intro: 
  Amaj9 A | Amaj9 A
  Dmaj D6 | Dmaj D6  } ×2

    Amaj9        A             Amaj9 A
I’m driving home for Christmas.
            Dmaj
Oh, I can’t wait
       D6          Dmaj D6
To see those faces.
    Amaj9        A
I’m driving home for Christmas,
  Amaj9 A
Yeah,
          Dmaj        D6        Dmaj D6
Well, I’m moving down that line.

            C#m7    F#m7
   And it’s been so long,
Bm7    Eadd11 E/D  C#m7
   But I will be there.
               F#m7
   I sing this song
Bm7   Eadd11   E/D   C#m7
   To pass the time away
   F#m7    F#m7/E D6 D6/C#
   Driving in my car,

   Driving home for Christmas.

           Dmaj           D6
It’s gonna take some time,
             Dmaj  D6
But I’ll get there,
Amaj9      A            Amaj9 A
Top to toe in tailbacks.
          Dmaj           D6    Dmaj D6
Oh, I got red lights all around,
    Amaj9              A
But soon there’ll be a freeway,
  Amaj9 A
Yeah,
       Dmaj    D6          Dmaj D6
Get my feet on holy ground.

        C#m7     F#m7
   So I sing for you,
Bm7       Eadd11    E/D   C#m7
   Though you can’t hear me
              F#m7
   When I get through,
Bm7    Eadd11   E/D   C#m7
   And feel you near me
   F#m7    F#m7/E D6 D6/C#
   Driving in my car,
        Bm7     E7
   I am driving home
       Amaj9    A Amaj9 A
   For Christmas.

             Dmaj         D6 Dmaj

With a thousand memories.
                     Dmaj
I take look at the driver
        D6 Dmaj D6
Next to me,

He’s just the same,

Just the same.
