  F#maj F# | F#maj F#
  Bmaj B6 | Bmaj B6    } ×2

    F#maj        F#            F#maj F#
I’m driving home for Christmas.
            Bmaj
Oh, I can’t wait
       B6          Bmaj B6
To see those faces.
    F#maj        F#
I’m driving home for Christmas,
  F#maj F#
Yeah,
          Bmaj        B6        Bmaj B6
Well, I’m moving down that line.

            Bbm7    Ebm7
   And it’s been so long,
G#m7   C#add11 C#  Bbm7
   But I will be there.
               Ebm7
   I sing this song
G#m7  C#add11  C#    Bbm7
   To pass the time away
   Ebm7           B6      
   Driving in my car,
   G#m7    C#7      F#maj    F# F#maj F#
   Driving home for Christmas.

           Bmaj           B6
It’s gonna take some time,
             Bmaj  B6
But I’ll get there,
F#maj      F#           F#maj F#
Top to toe in tailbacks.
          Bmaj           B6    Bmaj B6
Oh, I got red lights all around,
    F#maj              F#
But soon there’ll be a freeway,
  F#maj F#
Yeah,
       Bmaj    B6          Bmaj B6
Get my feet on holy ground.

        Bbm7     Ebm7
   So I sing for you,
G#m7      C#add11   C#    Bbm7
   Though you can’t hear me
              Ebm7
   When I get through,
G#m7   C#add11  C#    Bbm7
   And feel you near me
   Ebm7           B6      
   Driving in my car,
        G#m7    C#7
   I am driving home
       F#maj    F# F#maj F#
   For Christmas.

             Bmaj         B6 Bmaj

With a thousand memories.

I take look at the driver
        B6 Bmaj B6
Next to me,
