Verse 1
Gm D9 Bmin7
When the cold winds blow you know it’s a sign
Gm D9 Bmin7
Santa and the elves start working overtime
Gm D9 Bmin7
They’re pack up all those toys and stuff
Gm D9 Bmin
And getting that old sleigh up to snuff

B#m Gm
Some folks like the snow and the ice
D/F# Gm
But when it’s 20 below it ain’t so nice
B#m Gm
I’d rather be cool on some warm sunny beaches
D/F# Gm
I’m thinking I want to do Christmas in Costa Rica

Chorus
Gm D7/A Gm D7/A
Christmas Yeah in Costa Rica Yeah
Gm D7/A Gm D7/A
Christmas Yeah in Costa Rica Yeah

Verse 2
Gm D9 Bmin7
Some people like making Christmas glow
Gm D9 Bmin7
But I get so tired of pushing that snow
Gm D9 Bmin7
I’m thinking Santa might want to spend some time
Gm D9 Bmin7
Hanging out with me in the warm sunshine

B#m Gm
I’m gonna send a letter to Santa this year
D/F# Gm
And invite him to come down with all reindeer
B#m Gm
He can send all those presents real early too
D/F#
And bring his sunglasses and his bathing suit

Chorus
Gm D7/A
And spend Christmas in Costa Rica
Gm D7/A Gm D7/A
Yeah Christmas in Costa Rica Yeah




Verse 3
Gm D9 Bmin7
So when it comes around to December time
Gm D9 Bmin7
I’m gonna find me a non-stop flight
Gm D9 Bmin7
To a place out of the wind and the snow
Gm D9 Bmin7
Where I won’t need no boots or a winter coat

B#m Gm
And I might not come back til March or April
D/F# Gm
Gonna wait for winter to lose it cold chill
B#m Gm
I’ll send holiday greetings from the sunny beaches
D/F#
Cause you know I’ll be spending Christmas
Gm
In Costa Rica
