Verse
A G#m
Dime store bulbs, they're hangin' in rows
F# B
and I'm wonderin' what could they mean
A G#m
old Ebenezer's free with wires for roots
F# B B7
and an angel cut from an old magazine
[Chorus]
E G#m
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
F#m E A
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
G#m
oh the joy it'll know
F#m E
and all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 2]
A G#m
Wouldn't ya know them bulbs used to grow
F# B
like apples for pickin' from trees
A G#m
and its spirit's forever and life overflows
F# B B7
and it must be why they call it the evergree-ee-een
[Chorus]
E G#m
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
F#m E A
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
G#m
oh the joy it'll know
F#m E
and all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 3]
A G#m
There's still some of them out there in the snowy night
F# B
There's some of them inside by the fire
A G#m
They gaze through the window of love's warm glow
F# B B7
and they dream of growin' up higher and higher
[Chorus]
E G#m
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
F#m E A
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
G#m
oh the joy it'll know
F#m E
and all the spirit that it brings
