Keep It Evergreen

C


[Verse 1]

G       C                 Am
Crowded streets, it's the season
       Dm                          
People rushing desperately for the 
      G
wrong reasons
             C               Am
This time of year voices are singing
          Dm                       
But we forget sometimes just why 
            G
the bells are ringing


[Verse 2]

      Am                  Em
As we walk down memories' halls
           F                       
We see the rows of family pictures 
       Em
on the walls
         Asus2            Em
Tell the story, write the song
   F                          
Of who we are and where we all 
   G
belong


[Chorus]

            C                  Am
Let this be Christmas like the past
          Dm                G
Give your heart and make it last
         C              Am
Remember always what it means
        Dm                   G
Keep it true and keep it evergreen

[Verse 3]

         C               Am
It's not gifts that we receive
         Dm                        
It's the time we spend together 
     G
that we need
        C                   Am
And the presents that we'll be 
giving
        Dm                         
Need no paper wrapped in shiny bows
    G
 of ribbon


[Verse 4]

           Am                      
Don't need someone else's verse on 
  Em
paper cards
        F               Em
Just to show me how you feel
         Asus2             Em
It takes more than printed words
   F                               
To let someone you love know how 
  G
you feel


[Chorus]

            C                  Am
Let this be Christmas like the past
          Dm                G
Give your heart and make it last
         C              Am
Remember always what it means
        Dm                   G
Keep it true and keep it evergreen


[Chorus]

            C                  Am
Let this be Christmas like the past
          Dm                G
Give your heart and make it last
         C              Am
Remember always what it means
        Dm                   G
Keep it true and keep it evergreen


[Chorus]

            C                  Am
Let this be Christmas like the past 
(like the past)
          Dm                       
Give your heart and soul and make 
  G
it last
         C              Am
Remember always what it means
        Dm                   G
Keep it true and keep it evergreen


[Chorus]

            C
Let this be Christmas (woah-ooh-oh)
         Am
Like the past (like the past)
          Dm
Give your heart (heart and soul)
            G
And make it last (and make it last)
         C
Remember always (always)
         Am
What it means (oh-ooh-woah)
        Dm                   G    
Keep it true and keep it evergreen
       Am
