D                           G
(mem'ry of an old Christmas card..)
 
[Verse 1]
G              C         G          C         G
There's an Old Christmas Card in an old dusty trunk.
       D7                                 G
And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me.
D7          G     C   G             C               G
  'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn.
       D        D7                         G     C  G
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree.

[Chorus]
  D              D7          G      D  G                      
I thrill with every word, every line.
          A7                        D        A  D7
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time.
       G     C G            C                 G
Pardon me if a tear, falls among my Christmas cheer.
         D            D7            G    C G  D  G  C G
It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card.

[Spoken]
G                      C                                               G
You know, I don't know why I get to feeling sentimental about this time, every year.
D                D7
But every time I see a Christmas card, I somehow can't help reminiscing.
G                          D7                                  G
 About the very first Christmas that you and I spent together. (whoo, ooh..)
G
What a beautiful Christmas card you gave me that year.            
C                                G
 Why I know you must have looked through thousands of cards.      
D                      D7                       G              C  G
To find that wonderful poem that still brings a tear to my eye.

[Outro]
  D      D7                     G     D  G                      
I thrill with every word, every line.
          A7                        D        
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time.
D7       G     C G            C                 G
  Pardon me if a tear, falls among my Christmas cheer.
         D7                         G    C G    
It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card.
