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
