IT'S A LITTLE LATE FOR CHRISTMAS (Cullum, Crane, Salas-Humara) c2015 V.1: C / Am / F / G I swept up all the tinsel from underneath the tree Put away the presents I had gift-wrapped just for me F / G / C Bb / Am / F / G / C Rolled up all the twinkle lights, downed the Yuletide cheer It’s a little late for Christmas this year V.2: Santa’s in Miami celebrating Christmas Eve The elves have started drinking, they’ll turn the lights out when they leave There's reindeer on the roof outside, I guess they didn’t hear It’s a little late for Christmas this year BRIDGE: C / G F / G / Em / Am / F / G And you’re so far away Everything is cold and grey And it’s just another day V.3: All the joy that’s in the world has scattered now and gone The registers have stopped ringing, the wise men have moved on So it’s a Swanson’s frozen dinner and a Pabst Blue Ribbon beer It's a little late for Christmas this year Am And I’ll think back on happy times before they disappear It’s a little late for Christmas It’s a little late for Christmas It’s a little late for Christmas this year

(Christmas Comes Once A Year) You Are Always In My Heart (Copyright 2006 Salas-Humara, Spottiswoode) C Dm London, Paris, Baltimore G C Sometimes close, sometimes apart Christmas comes but once a year But you are always in my heart F C No it doesn't need to snow G C Don't need to decorate the tree F Am I don't need another gift Dm G Cause you are always here with me New York, Delhi, Montreal You know I loved you from the start Another year is gonna fall But you are always in my heart There's a star up in the sky Drifting like a ship at sea Even when it doesn't shine You are always here with me Shanghai, Sydney, or Tangier Sometimes close, sometimes apart Christmas comes but once a year But you are always in my heart

The Silos New York, New York

The Silos, the still-kicking band Walter Salas-Humara co-founded in New York’s post-punk ‘80s scene played Alt-Rock, Alt- Country, and Americana before any critics coined those terms. Salas-Humara’s narratives take on the weight of attentive, convincing poetry and wry wordplay. Each tune is marked by such humanity, which offers much refuge in a convulsive time. ... more
