Christmas Day Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]A y[D]oun[Dsus4]g gentleman[G]
Came riding past on a [D]snow
blue winter's [Dsus4]day
He [G]asked to drink by our fire
And I was [D]pleased to let [Dsus4]him stay
He [G]drank there quietly for a while
And then he [D]turned and said to me
[Dsus4]Your eyes are [D]green

[Verse 2]
[G]
Like summer [D]grass
[Dsus4]Your lips are [D]red[G]
Like a fresh cut [D]rose
[Dsus4]Your hair is s[D]oft[G]
Like an Irish [D]stream[Dsus4]
And your [G]voice
Is filled with [D]sweet [Dsus4]beauty
[D]And the last

[Verse 3]
[C]words I heard him say

[Verse 4]
Were "I shall [G]return
For [C]you, my [D]love
On Christmas [G]Day"

[Verse 5]
And the [G]night will come
But I won't sleep
As I [D]watch the stars that lead [Dsus4]him
[D]I can[G]not place where he is
But [D]still my heart goes [Dsus4]with him
[D]I'm sav[G]ing all my Sunday clothes
For the [D]day that I'll be leav[Dsus4]ing
[D]Father [G]knows
My sister [D]knows
And my [G]friends
They're happy [D]for me
And the priest [G]he says
You should thank [D]God
For [G]the blessing
Of such [D]beauty

[Verse 6]
And [C]the last words
I heard him say

[Verse 7]
Were "I shall [G]return
For [C]you, my [D]love
On Christmas [G]Day"

[Verse 8]
"I shall [G]return
For [C]you, my [D]love

[Interlude 1]
On Christmas Day"

(I shall [D]return[Dsus4][D][G][D][G]
[D]for[G] you[D] my love)

[Verse 10]
[C]And the last words
I heard him say
Were the last words
[Em]I ever[G][A]
Heard him [D]say

[Verse 11]
I shall [G]return
For [C]you, my [D]love
On Christmas Day
[G]I swear
I [C]will [D]return
On Christmas Day
And [G]yes
I [C]shall [D]return
On Christmas Day
[G]I shall [C]return
For [D]you
