This is the chord progression for Cherry Tree Carol by Judy Collins, great song to sing around Christmas.
I couldn't find any other chords on here that appeared to be correct so I've done it myself Capo is on the
5th fret and I think it sounds nice if you're playing it alone to keep your ring and pinkie fingers on the
E and B string, third fret at all times!
Hope you enjoy, Merry Christmas!

G C G C Joseph was an old man, an old man was he, Em C D Em When he wedded Virgin Mary, in the land of Galilee, Em C D G When he wedded virgin Mary, in the land of Galilee. G C G C Joseph and Mary walked through an orchard green, Em C D Em There were berries and cherries as thick as might be seen, Em C D G There were berries and cherries as thick as might be seen. G C G C Oh then bespoke Mary with words meek and mild, Em C D Em Pluck me one cherry Joseph, for I am with child, Em C D Em Pluck me one cherry Joseph, for I am with child. Em D C D Oh then bespoke Joseph with answer most unkind, Em D C Em Let him pluck thee a cherry, that brought thee with child, Em C D Em Let him pluck thee a cherry, that brought thee with child. G C G C Oh then bespoke the baby within his mothers womb, Em C D Em Bow down the tallest tree, that my mother may have some, Em C D G Bow down then the tallest tree, for my mother to have some. G C G C Then bow down the tallest tree, unto his mothers hand, Em C D Em She cried; 'see Joseph, I have cherries at command,' Em C D G Then she cried; 'see Joseph, I have cherries at command.' G C G C Then Mary plucked a cherry, as red as any blood, Em C D Em Then Mary, she went over all with her heavy load, Em C D G Then Mary went over all with her heavy load. G C G C As Joseph was a-walking he heard an angel sing, Em C D Em This night shall be born, on earth our heavenly king, Em C D G This night there shall be born, on earth our heavenly king.
