Evergreen

C


[Verse 1]
           C
There is a box in the attic
   F                 C
We take it down each year
    F            C            G
And pass through generations, lights
 and souvenirs
          C
From the ones who came before us
    F                C
The reason why we're here
F                 C       
Singing all these carols and 
   G
spreading all this cheer


[Pre-Chorus 1]
      Am            Em
Don't forget, never lose
        D                   G
All the joy that's made for you


[Chorus 1]
   F                               
So come on, girl, let's sit by the 
C
fire
          G                        
I want to tell you a story about my
 Am
 mother
              F            G      
How she would give up everything 
       C    C/B   Am
for her daughter's drеams
        D7                   G
Yeah, a mother's love is еvergreen


[Post-Chorus]
    F                              
For all the weight she carried, she
       C
 ain't tired

           G                       
I spend my whole life trying to be 
     Am
more like her
            F         G
So on every Christmas Eve
  C        C/B    Am
I thank my family tree

Yeah, a mother's love gave us

everything

[Verse 2]
           C
There were hard times we struggled
      F            C
She'd never let me see
F               C           G
Kept food on the table, and gifts 
under the tree
         C                     
Now that I'm a little older, it 
 F             C
isn't lost on me
    F            C            
The magic of tradition, and the 
  G
memories we keep


[Pre-Chorus 2]
           Am                 Em
So don't forget, as time goes on
        D            G
All the joy is never gone


[Chorus 2]
   F                              
So come on, boy, let's sit by the 
C
fire
          G
