G                         Bm
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
     Am             G               C
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
       Bm
oh the joy it'll know
            Am             G
and all the spirit that it brings

[Verse 1]
C                         Bm
Dime store bulbs, they're hangin' in rows
        A                         D
and I'm wonderin' what could they mean
    C                    Bm
old Ebenezer's free with wires for roots
       A                 D        D7
and an angel cut from an old magazine

[Chorus]
      G                         Bm
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
     Am             G               C
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
       Bm
oh the joy it'll know
            Am             G
and all the spirit that it brings

[Verse 2]
C                     Bm
Wouldn't ya know them bulbs used to grow
     A                       D
like apples for pickin' from trees
    C                        Bm
and its spirit's forever and life overflows
       A                            D           D7
and it must be why they call it the evergree-ee-een

[Chorus]
      G                         Bm
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
     Am             G               C
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
       Bm
oh the joy it'll know
            Am             G
and all the spirit that it brings

[Verse 3]
              C                           Bm
There's still some of them out there in the snowy night
        A                          D
There's some of them inside by the fire
     C                          Bm
They gaze through the window of love's warm glow
        A                    D          D7
and they dream of growin' up higher and higher

[Chorus]
      G                         Bm
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
     Am             G               C
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
       Bm
oh the joy it'll know
            Am             G
and all the spirit that it brings
