Verse
A# Am
Dime store bulbs, they're hangin' in rows
G C
and I'm wonderin' what could they mean
A# Am
old Ebenezer's free with wires for roots
G C C7
and an angel cut from an old magazine
[Chorus]
F Am
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
Gm F A#
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
Am
oh the joy it'll know
Gm F
and all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 2]
A# Am
Wouldn't ya know them bulbs used to grow
G C
like apples for pickin' from trees
A# Am
and its spirit's forever and life overflows
G C C7
and it must be why they call it the evergree-ee-een
[Chorus]
F Am
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
Gm F A#
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
Am
oh the joy it'll know
Gm F
and all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 3]
A# Am
There's still some of them out there in the snowy night
G C
There's some of them inside by the fire
A# Am
They gaze through the window of love's warm glow
G C C7
and they dream of growin' up higher and higher
[Chorus]
F Am
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
Gm F A#
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
Am
oh the joy it'll know
Gm F
and all the spirit that it brings
