Green Christmas
guitar chords lyrics
INTRODUCTION: G Am7 (3x) D
VERSE 1:
G Am7 G Am7
The streets are filled with Christmas cheer
G Am7 G Am7
At least it's only once a year
G C D Em
Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows,
A7 D
And carols ringing in my ear
G Am7 G Am7
I'm bundled up against the cold
G Am7 G Am7
Lines wherever gifts are sold
G C D Em
Each shop window displays a Christmas scene
A7 D
For everybody young and old
CHORUS:
G Am Em C
Icicles on eavestroughs and tinsel on the tree,
D G Am7
But it's a green Christmas for me
G Am7 G Am7 D
VERSE 2:
G Am7 G Am7
Couples skating on the pond [couples skating on the pond]
G Am7 G Am7
Makin' angels on the lawn [makin' angels on the lawn]
G C D Em
Five red mittens drying on the rad
A7 D
And needles shedding tannenbaum
CHORUS:
G Am Em C
Red bows on the railings and snowflakes on the ground,
D G Am7
But it's a green Christmas in this town
G Am7 G Am7 D
BRIDGE:
C G C
Green, cos of everything I miss
G C
All this mistletoe, no kiss
G Am
And with every Christmas wish
Em A7
There would be no greater gift
A7 (let ring)
Than to have this envy lift
INSTRUMENTAL: G Am7 G Am7 G Am7 D
VERSE 3:
G Am7 G Am7
(Fa la la la...) Carolers are at my door (Fa la la la...)
G Am7 G Am7
Don't wanna hear them anymore
CHORUS:
G Am
Stockings on the mantle
D Em
The snow's here everyday
D G
But it's a green Christmas anyway
G C D Em
Red nose on the reindeer and tinsel on the tree
D G Am7 G Am7 G Am7 G
But it's a green Christmas for me
