[Verse 1]
The [Am]holly and the [F]ivy,
now [Am]both are full well grown.
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
the holly [Em]bears the [Esus4]crown.
[Em]The holl[Am]y bears a bl[F]ossom
as white [Am]as lily flower,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
to be [Em]our sweet Sa[Esus4]viour.
[Em]Oh, [G]the [Em]rising of [G]the [Em]sun,
the running of [Bm]the deer,
[Asus4]the bleeding o[Em]f
[Am]the merry organ,
sweet singing in the choir,
sweet singing in the [Esus4]choir.[Am][Em]
[Am][Em][Esus4][Em]
[Esus4]
[Em]The [Am]holy bear's a [F]fairy,
as [Am]red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
to do for [Em]sinners good
The [Am]holy bear's a [F]prickle,
as sharp [Am]as any
And merry more, sweet Jesus Christ,
on Christmas [Em]Day in the morn.
[G]O, the rising [Em]of the sun,
the running of [Bm]the deer[Asus4],
The [Am]playing of [Em]the merry[Am] organ,
sweet singing in the choir,
sweet singing in the choir.
Ooh, [Esus4]ooh, ooh,[Em] ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
[Esus4]ooh, ooh, ooh, [Em]ooh,
The [Am]holly bears [F]a bark
[Am]as bitter as any gall
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
for to re[Em]deem us all
The [Esus4]holly and[Am] the [F]ivy,
when [Am]they are both
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
the holly [Em]bears the crown.
[G]O the rising o[Em]f the sun,
the rolling of [Bm]the day,
[Asus4]The playi[Am]ng of th[Em]e merry o[Am]rgan,
Sweet singing in the choir,
Sweet singing in [Esus4]the choir.
