Harley Poe – Merry Christmas 2015 (Guitar)

      C                    G           C
I was anxious to visit the church last night

         F            C              G       C
I needed something to tell me it will be alright

  C                   G      C
I put faith in me for so damn long

    F            C            G        C
I'm beginning to see where it all went wrong

        F       C        G          C
Still I put up a tree with our little boys

   Am
On Christmas I'll have them

                           G
So that they can open their toys

C               G       C
Merry Christmas mom and dad

  F       C        G         C
I know my hardship makes you sad

 C                             G          C
But there'll come a point when I will get by

       F          C          G          C
When I wake up tomorrow I'll try not to cry

      C                         G          C
I was anxious to write to your friend last night

   F           C           G             C
No matter the outcome she said it'll be alright

            C                 G              C
But I can't listen to that, I believe we are more

    F             C             G            C
The four of us together is what I'm fighting for

        F              C           G       C
Still I can't make you love me and I understand

Am                               G
How can you ever return to that man

C                 G     C
Merry Christmas, lovely girl

F            C         G    C
Behind that wall there is a pearl

C                    G     C
I hope you travel a joyful road

       F       C             G          C
I'll cover my hurt, so I can carry your load

          C                                    G              C
I'll keep drawing those pictures And I'll keep painting those toys

      F          C             G            C
I'll count on my blessings, embrace all my joys

           C            G               C
I think I always wonder what could have been

            F          C          G            C
If we'd had opened our hearts and just tried again

   F         C           G       C
So I will be thankful, I finally see

     Am                                         G
That selfish old man that you lived with Is not me

C                G     C
Merry Christmas, oh my lord

  F      C             G       C
I never know what life has in store

    C                   G          C
But I will not fear and I will get by

       F          C       G       C
I have peace in my heart, until I die

C               G       C
Merry Christmas mom and dad

  F       C         G         C
I know my hardship makes you sad

C                            G          C
Will there come a point when I will get by

     F          C            G         C
I'll wake up tomorrow, I'll try not to cry

C                 G     C

   F         C         G    C

I hope you travel a joyful road

     F        C              G          C
I'll cover my hurt, so I can share your load

C                G      C
Merry Christmas, oh my lord

   F    C             G       C
I never know what life has in store

C                       G          C
But I will not fear and I will get by

       F          C        G      C
I have peace in my heart, until I die
