[Chorus]
N.C. G
Oh, my Christmas tree
Bm
Will never get to grow
C G
Into all its mighty rings
C
But for a month or so
Bm
All the joy I don't know
Am G
And all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 1]
C
Dime store hopes
Bm
They’re hanging in rows
A D
And I'm wondering what could they mean
C
Old Ebenezer's free
Bm
With wires for roots
A D
And an angel cut from an old magazine
[Chorus]
N.C. G
Oh, my Christmas tree
Bm
Will never get to grow
C G
Into all its mighty rings
C
But for a month or so
Bm
All the joy I don't know
Am G
And all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 2]
C
Wouldn't you know
Bm
Bulbs used to grow
A D
Like apples for picking from trees
C
And its spirit's forever
Bm
And life overflows
A D
And it must be why they call it the evergreen
[Chorus]
N.C. G
Oh, my Christmas tree
Bm
Will never get to grow
C G
Into all its mighty rings
C
But for a month or so
Bm
All the joy I don't know
Am G
And all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 3]
C
There's still some of them out there
Bm
In the snowy night
A D
There's some of them inside by the fire
C
They gaze through the window
Bm
Of love's warm glow
A
And they dream of growing up
D
Higher and higher
[Out-Chorus]
N.C. G
Oh, my Christmas tree
Bm
Will never get to grow
C G
Into all its mighty rings
C
But for a month or so
Bm
All the joy I don't know
Am G
And all the spirit that it brings
