Verse
G F#m
Dime store bulbs, they're hangin' in rows
E A
and I'm wonderin' what could they mean
G F#m
old Ebenezer's free with wires for roots
E A A7
and an angel cut from an old magazine
[Chorus]
D F#m
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
Em D G
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
F#m
oh the joy it'll know
Em D
and all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 2]
G F#m
Wouldn't ya know them bulbs used to grow
E A
like apples for pickin' from trees
G F#m
and its spirit's forever and life overflows
E A A7
and it must be why they call it the evergree-ee-een
[Chorus]
D F#m
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
Em D G
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
F#m
oh the joy it'll know
Em D
and all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 3]
G F#m
There's still some of them out there in the snowy night
E A
There's some of them inside by the fire
G F#m
They gaze through the window of love's warm glow
E A A7
and they dream of growin' up higher and higher
[Chorus]
D F#m
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
Em D G
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
F#m
oh the joy it'll know
Em D
and all the spirit that it brings
