Verse
D C#m
Dime store bulbs, they're hangin' in rows
B E
and I'm wonderin' what could they mean
D C#m
old Ebenezer's free with wires for roots
B E E7
and an angel cut from an old magazine
[Chorus]
A C#m
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
Bm A D
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
C#m
oh the joy it'll know
Bm A
and all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 2]
D C#m
Wouldn't ya know them bulbs used to grow
B E
like apples for pickin' from trees
D C#m
and its spirit's forever and life overflows
B E E7
and it must be why they call it the evergree-ee-een
[Chorus]
A C#m
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
Bm A D
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
C#m
oh the joy it'll know
Bm A
and all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 3]
D C#m
There's still some of them out there in the snowy night
B E
There's some of them inside by the fire
D C#m
They gaze through the window of love's warm glow
B E E7
and they dream of growin' up higher and higher
[Chorus]
A C#m
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
Bm A D
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
C#m
oh the joy it'll know
Bm A
and all the spirit that it brings
