Verse
F Em
Dime store bulbs, they're hangin' in rows
D G
and I'm wonderin' what could they mean
F Em
old Ebenezer's free with wires for roots
D G G7
and an angel cut from an old magazine
[Chorus]
C Em
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
Dm C F
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
Em
oh the joy it'll know
Dm C
and all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 2]
F Em
Wouldn't ya know them bulbs used to grow
D G
like apples for pickin' from trees
F Em
and its spirit's forever and life overflows
D G G7
and it must be why they call it the evergree-ee-een
[Chorus]
C Em
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
Dm C F
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
Em
oh the joy it'll know
Dm C
and all the spirit that it brings
[Verse 3]
F Em
There's still some of them out there in the snowy night
D G
There's some of them inside by the fire
F Em
They gaze through the window of love's warm glow
D G G7
and they dream of growin' up higher and higher
[Chorus]
C Em
Oh my Christmas tree will never get to grow
Dm C F
into all its mighty rings but for a month or so
Em
oh the joy it'll know
Dm C
and all the spirit that it brings
